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. Pat...
