Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this research is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of epidural anesthesia using mixed reality (MR) technology. Specifically, we will project MR that visualizes the spine onto the back of a phantom model, and then use a needle that can automatically follow the spine to verify whether epidural anesthesia can be performed more accurately and smoothly. This new approach will be compared with the conventional standard technique (blind) and evaluated using an epidural anesthesia practice kit (model). This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of epidural anesthesia using MR technology and to confirm its effectiveness.

Other related information

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an epidural anesthesia support system using mixed reality (MR) technology. Epidural anesthesia requires a high level of skill, and if it is difficult to insert, it can cause the patient a lot of pain for a long time.
We hypothesized that using MR technology to visualize the spine and needle would make it possible to perform the procedure more accurately and smoothly.

A total of 40 participants will be divided into four groups (Control group, Needle MR group, Spine MR group, Needle Spine MR group), with 10 participants in each group. Each participant will perform the assigned group's technique once on each of two phantom models: the Easy model and the Difficult model.

The control group will perform conventional blind epidural anesthesia techniques. In the needle MR group, the participants will wear an MR headset to visualize only the needle with the automatic tracking function. In the spine MR group, only the spine of the phantom model will be visualized. In the needle spine MR group, both the needle and the spine will be visualized using MR technology.

Evaluation items include the success rate of reaching the epidural space, deviation from the target position, time required, and number of punctures. We will also collect subjective evaluations from participants regarding ease of use and difficulty.
