Accidental epidural catheter removal rates and strength required for disconnection: a retrospective cohort and laboratory study

Abstract Background Epidural catheters are associated with certain risks such as accidental epidural catheter removal, including dislodgement and disconnection. Globally, neuraxial connector designs were revised in 2016 to provide new standardization aimed at decreasing the frequency of misconnectio...
