A new method for epidural catheter fixation.
We investigated the effect of a new fixator made from a medication port of a intravenous fluid container on the migration of epidural catheter. Fifty patients were recruited to receive epidural analgesia and allocated to one of two groups. In the new fixator group (n=25) epidural catheter was advanced through a fixator then fixed with transparent adhesive dressing, in the standard dressing grou...
متن کاملEpidural catheter fixation. A comparison of subcutaneous tunneling versus device fixation technique.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The technique of securing the epidural catheter has a major bearing on the efficacy of epidural analgesia. Specific fixator devices, for e.g., Lockit epidural catheter clamp, which successfully prevents catheter migration, are available. The possibility of catheter snapping and surgical retrieval has been reported with tunneling of catheters. These techniques have not been c...
متن کاملIntrapartum epidural catheter migration: a comparative study of three dressing applications.
We compared three types of catheter fixation application for their ability to minimize the incidence and magnitude of epidural catheter movement during labour. Patients were randomized to have their epidural catheter secured by a Tegaderm dressing (group T; n = 35), a Tegaderm dressing plus filter-shoulder fixation (group F; n = 39), or a Niko Epi-Fix dressing (group N; n = 37). The length of c...
متن کاملSkin fold technique for central venous catheter fixation; Comparison with conventional method for postopration infections
Background: Central Venous Catheters (CVCs) are used not only as a tool to access to central venous system, but also for hemodynamic monitoring, parenteral nutrition, chemotherapy and hemodialysis. The use of CVCs is associated with some complications notably infections that are troublesome both to patient and physician. We conducted this study to examine catheter fixation with skin fold techni...
متن کاملWandering epidural catheter.
A MALE patient, 73 yr old, had a Flexitip Plus (Arrow International, Reading, PA) 19gauge end-hole, wire-reinforced thoracic epidural catheter inserted for postthoracotomy pain management. He underwent highresolution spiral computed tomography scan with the catheter in situ before its use to evaluate previous bronchoscopic findings. A composite set of sagittal computed tomography images (figs. ...
