Lumbar intrathecal administration provides an ideal route for drug delivery into the central nervous system, especially when dorsal root ganglions are the main target for the therapy in rat model of chronic pain. Two main methods of lumbar intrathecal administrations are chronic catheter implantation and the acute needle puncture. Chronic catheter implantation involves surgical manipulation to insert micro indwelling catheter into the intrathecal space. However, this method is invasive, produces inflammatory reactions, and generates more surgical stress. Acute needle puncture is less invasive and cheaper however is technically challenging to perform. We performed an ultrasound-guided lumbar intrathecal injection in six male Sprague Dawley rat cadavers, on average weighing 250-300 grams. Fresh rat cadavers were positioned in a sternal recumbent position, vertebrae were palpated and scanned using a linear probe ultrasound. A 25G needle insertion was advanced with real-time ultrasound guidance, and placement was confirmed prior to dye injection (Methylene blue, Sigma Aldrich). Cadavers were then dissected, and the vertebrae were visually inspected for dye staining. All three cadavers that underwent intrathecal injection with sagittal and axial plane ultrasound guidance showed positive dye staining within the intrathecal space, confirming successful acute intrathecal administration. There was one successful intrathecal injection under sagittal plane-only ultrasound guidance. Ultrasound is a useful, operator-dependent tool to guide acute needle puncture intrathecal administration. |
