Background : This study was designed to determine if cervical epidural depth has any correlation with age, height, weight, ponderal index and neck clrcunference. Methods : Data was obtained from 102 patients successfully anesthetized with cervical epidural block. Patients were categorized into 4 groups: male C6-7, male C7-T1, female C6-7, female C7-T1 then statistically compared and analyzed. Results : The mean and standard deviation of epidural depth of male C6-7, male C&-T1, female C6-7, female C7-T1 groups were respectively as follows: 41.1+/-6.0, 47.1+/-5.6, 37.9+/-6.0, 46.4+/-5.6 mm. The results showed cervical epidural depth is well correlated with body weight and ponderal index; moderately correlated with neck circumference: slightly correlated with age; no correlation with height.
