My understanding is that in epidural injections/anaesthesia, one

aims to inject OUTSIDE the dura, i.e. one does not aim to puncture

the dura.

When I had my epidural, to prepare for an operation that would piece back

a broken leg due to a skiing trip gone bad, the Dr. said, " Don't move, I am

going to inject directly into your spinal column. "

He pushed, I heard the " pop " and he was in. Just as planned.

Don't know if this is standard, but it probably is.

>>>For a surgery it was probably a spinal not an epidural
