چکیده
Epidural anaesthesia is being regularly practised in many clinical settings and there are many documented complications. Here we report the successful management of accidental migration of epidural catheter into the subarachnoid space causing near collapse in a patient.

Intra-operative epidural catheter migration into subarachnoid space leading to massive subarachnoid injection of morphine--a case report.
Epidural catheter (EC) migration is well documented entity in literature. However, most of these reports are consistent with introduction of Tuohy needle, either partially or completely, into intravascular, subdural and subarachnoid spaces prior to the placement of catheter. We report an intra-operative delayed migration of epidural catheter into subarachnoid space after apparently normal needl...

Background: Total spinal anesthesia is a complication of lumbar epidural anesthesia following undiagnosed subarachnoid or subdural injection of local anesthetic. Although many achondroplastic dwarfs have a normal spine, catheter insertion may be more problematic with a narrow epidural space making a subarachnoid tap more probable. Other malformations associated with achondroplasia, such as pro...
متن کاملDecrease in the incidence of post-dural puncture headache: maintaining CSF volume.
The incidence of epidural needle-induced post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) in parturients following dural puncture with a large bore (18-gauge) needle has been reported to range 76-85%. We describe seven cases in which the performance of epidural anesthesia in parturients was complicated by an unintentional dural puncture with an 18-gauge epidural needle. In all seven cases, the unintentional...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSEA) has advantages over single injection epidural or subarachnoid blockades. The objective of this report was to present a case in which segmental subarachnoid block can be an effective technique for gastrointestinal surgery with spontaneous respiration. CASE REPORT Patient with physical status ASA III, with diabetes mellitus ty...
متن کاملTimely Detection of Epidural Catheter Migration: Diagnosis and Management: A Case Report
Epidural catheters that are commonly placed for anaesthesia or analgesia have a serious complication of migration. Besides intravascular local anaesthetic infusion which could lead to systemic toxicity, a subdural migration is often diagnosed late and presents with life-threatening outcomes noted either at post-mortem or requiring intensive care management. Albeit training and protocols for ins...
