Abstract

New advances in ultrasound create this technology accessible to health care suppliers in daycare clinic. Ultrasound aids pain
interventionist with real-time scanning and identifi cation of the spine. Th ere’s presently mounting proof that ultrasound
improves patient safety enhances health care quality and reduces tending price. Th e evolving aff ordability of ultrasound has
created this technology widely accessible. Ultrasound permits satisfactory scanning of the posterior elements of the spine and
paraspinal soft tissues. Studies illustrated practicability and validity of ultrasound in spinal injections. Despite the introduction
of newer and less consuming time’s methods with the possibility of intravascular injection, there is still insuffi cient clinical
evidence to prove the safety of the ultrasound as a sole image guide intervention, especially for transforaminal injection. Th e
most important injection warnings are damage to the spinal cord and nerve roots, intravascular injection and vascular damage,
loss of consciousness, paraplegia and incontinence. Th e object of study is to discuss the untoward dangerous complication
which can happen aft er ultrasound-guided spine injections and explain how to diagnosis and manage them to supply the
best and safest methodology of ultrasound-guided spine injections. According to the limitations and recommendations for
injection safety, ultrasound training is essential, given its axial ability to spinal anesthesia.
