Dogliotti's principle is a principle in epidural anaesthesia first described by Professor
analgesia during childbirth.[citation needed

This technique remains in use at present[update], and is commonly referred to the loss of resistance to saline technique (LORS) or its variation, the loss of resistance to air technique (LORA). These use, respectively, saline or air to identify the epidural space. The LORS technique is generally favoured due to the increased complication risk with the LORA technique such as pneumocephalus or air embolism.[3][4][5]
