Q

True AP view

A

Proc. spinosi in middle

pedicules on 1 line (2 eyes and a nose)

Posteroanterior (PA) view:

  • Spinous processes should be identified and aligned precisely at vertebral midline.
  • Vertebral end plates should be aligned to crisp, linear horizontal position.
  • The pedicles at the epidural entry level and 2 levels below should be identified.

Q

Lead Location and Paresthesia Coverage

A
  • High cervical regions such as C2 can cover regions of the posterior occiput and occasionally the lower jaw.
  • C2-C4: neck, shoulder, and upper extremities and the lower face as a result of involvement of the descending nucleus of the trigeminal nerve.
  • C5-C6:entire upper extremity including the hand.
  • C7-T1 : arms, anterior chest wall, or the axilla.
  • Occasionally, placement between C4 and T1 may result in coverage of upper and lower extremities, particularly when using current fractionation.
  • Lateral placement at T11-T12 covers the anterior thigh.
  • T11-L1 posterior thigh and the foot.
  • T8-T10 midline placement of the electrodes in general seems to provide the best coverage for lower extremity pain.
  • Low back pain may be difficult to cover because mid-thoracic stimulation can also affect the chest and abdominal wall and stimulation at lower levels preferentially recruits lower extremity fibers; T7-T8 levels are usual targets.

Q

How does SCS work

A
  • the IPG produces electrical signals that via the kathodes are delivered to specifiek areas in the spinal cord. these are blocking the pain by blocking the nerves that deliver the painmessage to the brain.

44
Q

MECHANISM OF ACTION

A
  • “gate theory” by Melzack and Wall, whereby electrical stimulation of large myelinated Aβ (A beta) fibers in dorsal columns would result in closing the “gate” and obliterating onward central pain signal transmission from peripheral nociceptors (C fibers)
  • still not sure
45
Q

epidural space

A

The epidural space is circumferential wrapping around the dura. It is bound by:

  • The ligamentum flavum posteriorly
  • The posterior longitudinal ligament and vertebral bodies anteriorly
  • The vertebral pedicles and intervertebral foramina with their penetrating nerve roots form the lateral borders
46
Q

Lead placement

A

In the epidural space.

The posterior epidural space, dorsal to the dura, is the target of lead placement for spinal cord stimulation.

47
Q

Dorsal column

A

Dorsal columns are the target of electrical stimulation.

They are formed by large-diameter, heavily myelinated, high conductance sensory fibers (Aβ)

The dorsal column’s fibers are somatotopically organized: from medial to lateral: sacral, lumbar, thoracic, and cervical.

48
Q

Anatomy spinal canal

A

The epidural space is circumferential wrapping around the dura and is bound by the ligamentum flavum posteriorly, the posterior longitudinal ligament and vertebral bodies anteriorly. Vertebral pedicles and intervertebral foramina with their penetrating nerve roots form the lateral borders.

49
Q

Current spread

A

Dorsal CSF (dCSF) fluid thickness along the spinal canal is the most important determinant of current spread.

dCSF thickness is largest at T4-T8.

50
Q

perception threshold (PT).

A

the minimum current at which patients perceive paresthesia

As current continues to be increased, patients may experience discomfort at higher amplitudes. The minimum current at which patients perceive discomfort is defined as the discomfort threshold (DT). Typical stimulation is carried out between PT and DT.

51
Q

Paresthesia coverage and parameters

A
  • depends on the shape of the electrical field and
  • recruitment of the nerve fibers.

Fine tuning of the paresthesia field is achieved by modifying the parameters:

  1. frequency,
  2. amplitude,
  3. pulse width.
  • Amplitude (A, in mA or milliamperes). Affects the intensity and extent of paresthesiae. Increasing the amplitude expands the area of coverage but could result in uncomfortable stimulation. Typical range: 1.0 to 5 mA.
  • Pulse width (PW, in μs or microseconds). PW is the duration of single delivered square stimulation pulse. Higher pulse width may help in recruiting smaller nerve fibers in the dorsal column. Pulse width range 20 to 1000 μs. ????
  • Frequency (F in Hz or hertz). Frequency is the number of pulses per second. Frequency affects the quality of paresthesia and may be perceived by patients as “smooth” sensation or more of a “thump” sensation.

The use of higher amplitudes, higher pulse widths, and higher frequencies would obviously increase the energy consumption and tax recharging frequency.

Q

High Impedance

A
  1. Wipe dry
  2. Wipe wet
  3. Move
  4. Change OR cable
  5. Remove lead
55
Q

Meassure impedance

A
  1. Take sure IPG is in the pocket (else it show high impedances-not grounded)
  2. Connect lead directly to OR cable and measure lead impedance
  3. attach extension and meassure again

When in Valencia they will try to distract yo by having someone coming in and ask something. While this happens they will do something like taking the IPG out of the pocket or disconnect the lead.

56
Q

OR testing

A
  1. impedance test (150-800 Ohms)
  2. find CPS

You want to be FAST! finetuning is done afterwards

  • Navigator joystick can be used to move quickly
  • etroll = 10% steps
  • Navigator = 3% steps
  • Manual = 1% step

Ask if you can talk with the patient before surgery: explain what you are going to ask.

  1. Set up CPS (central point of stimulation)
  2. PW=350 us. F= 60
  3. increase current to about 4mA to create parasthesia. If you need higher than 8mA to get parasthesia, there is something wrong in the lead system. Ask: What do you feel, Where do you feel it. Increase PW: wider = ? Freq 60-80-100
  4. scroll fast with the joistick by holding the button down., to get an impression of the span of the leadplacement
  5. After testing switch stimulation OFF (in case lead is moved) Communicate with phycisian: I found the area, do you want to leave the stimulation on?

Settings:

PW:

  • you found pain area but to high amplitude
  • found area, but also ventral root stimulation

resolution

  • fine, medium, coarse

Focus:

  • good coverage, but ventral stimulation or dorsal root stim: first PW, than focus
57
Q

Lead placement OR procedure

A
  1. needle entrance level L2 45 degrees
  2. proceed to you feel lamina
  3. lower to 30 degrees to enter epidural space
  4. LOR
  5. take out stylet
  6. enter lead check AP view: check placement lateral view
  7. impedance check + CPR
  8. take needle out
  9. put on click anchor
  10. remove stylet
  11. suture to facia
  12. click the anchor
  13. tunnel
