Tunneling and Suture of Thoracic Epidural Catheters Decrease the Incidence of Catheter Dislodgement
BACKGROUND Dislocation of epidural catheters (EC) is associated with early termination of regional analgesia and rare complications like epidural bleeding. We tested the hypothesis that maximum effort in fixation by tunneling and suture decreases the incidence of catheter dislocation. METHODS Patients scheduled for major surgery (n = 121) were prospectively randomized in 2 groups. Thoracic EC...
متن کاملEpidural abscess complicating insertion of epidural catheters.
We present three cases of epidural abscess, all in patients in whom an epidural catheter had been inserted for postoperative pain management. In all three cases the infecting organism was Staphylococcus aureus and two patients had diabetes. The diagnosis was made within 3 days of epidural catheter removal in two cases, but in one the abscess did not present until after the patient had been disc...
متن کاملEpidural versus non-epidural or no analgesia in labour.
BACKGROUND Epidural analgesia is a central nerve block technique achieved by injection of a local anaesthetic close to the nerves that transmit pain and is widely used as a form of pain relief in labour. However, there are concerns regarding unintended adverse effects on the mother and infant. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of all modalities of epidural analgesia (including combined -spinal...
متن کاملDislodgement of port-A catheters in pediatric oncology patients: 11 years of experience
BACKGROUND Port-A catheters are frequently used in pediatric cancer patients. Their dislodgement is potentially seriously risky although the incidence is not high. We analyzed our 11 years of data to address this important problem. METHODS From January 2001 to December 2011, 330 port-A catheters of different brands were implanted in pediatric cancer patients. In total, eight children suffered...
متن کاملRadiological analysis of the position of epidural catheters in the thoracic epidural space
provided the original work is properly cited. CC Thoracic epidural catheterization is used widely for anesthesia and postoperative pain control in thoracic and abdominal surgery. Generally, an epidural catheter is inserted only 4–5 cm into the epidural space, as excessive catheter insertion causes complications like vascular injury and paresthesias [1]. Nevertheless, a catheter can often be ins...
