Description
MODEL RELEASED. Epidural anaesthetic. Anaesthetist inserting a catheter into a patient's lower back, which has been numbed with local anaesthetic. The catheter will be used to administering the epidural anaesthetic, which is injected into the epidural space, the space between the dura mater (the outer membrane covering the spine) and the spinal cord. The anaesthetic will cause a loss of sensation and loss of pain in the lower half of the body in preparation for surgery on this region. Photographed at St. Mary's Hospital in Lacor, Gulu, Uganda.
