E183: Reducing Dural Puncture During Epidural Placement

Dela

In this episode, Cole and Tanner sit down with Mike Dolphin, founder and CEO of GuideStar, to talk all things epidurals—specifically the risk of accidental dural puncture and why preventing it matters for both providers and patients. They break down why epidural placement can be so challenging, the potential short- and long-term effects of a dural puncture, and how new technology may help make the process more precise. Mike also introduces EpiZact, a device designed to detect loss of resistance and help stop the epidural needle at the right moment. If you want to see EpiZact in action and meet Mike in person, be sure to find him at the AANA conference in Boston this coming weekend August 21-25!
