Broken Spinal needle ( 腰麻针折断)

本帖最后由 shenxiu2 于 2010-3-8 18:14 编辑

30 years old lady . ElectiveCaesarean Section for primigravida withbreech presentation.
Planned for spinal anesthesia .
Quinke 27G spinal needle inserted from paramedian approach , at L 23 level , while patient is lying on right lateral position.
During insertion , there was no difficulty , needle advanced until " give " sensation was felt. Clear CerebroSpinal Fluidwas seen.While waiting for the CSF flow to reach the hub of the needle , the patient had a sudden jerky movement . The CSF stopped flowing , the anesthesiologisttried to pull out the needle a little , hoping that the CSF will flow again , but did not see any fluid coming out. So she decided to pull out the needle & reinsert , but when the needle was being pull out , only 3/4 of the length was pulled out.Apparently the needle had broken inside the patient.

What will you do next?

英文不是 太好,不过勉强看明白.

主要是制动的问题,我做麻醉的时候一定会跟患者说明白,不要动,而且还找个有个护士在患者前面把着.

说实在的置入腰麻针的时候真怕刺激到神经导致患者掉地下,

The problem was explained to the patient & her husband. The patient was then put under general anesthesia , caesarean section was done to delivered her baby .

After the caesarean section , she was then referred to the neurosurgeon . Localization of the broken spinal needle was done using the portable X ray machine ( Image Intensifier) , she was then positioned prone , and the neurosurgeon opened up the back ( about 5 cm incision ) where the location of the needle was identified & marked. The needle was retrieved . And the wound closed. The localization took about 20 minutes, and the surgery to remove the needle took another 20 minutes. The needle was outside of the spinal space .
The patient was then reversed & woken up . She was observed for signs of spinal irritation and neurological deficit.
The recovery was uneventful.

This is the first time I have seen such a case like this .
We had sent the brokenspinal needle to the company that supplied the needle & asked them to make a study as to whether it was due to the defect of the needle that had caused the breaking .
As this is a potential medicolegal case , so all documentations were done carefully in details.

明显的这个穿刺针已经断在病人体内了,接下来你该怎么办呢?

该患者为择期剖腹产:制动,神经科急会诊,局麻下取出剩余1/4针尖,再行剖腹产手术
