Abstract: The use of continuous peripheral nerve block catheters (CPNB) is widespread for the control of intraoperative and postoperative pain with the benefits espoused in the literature; CPNB catheters provide effective pain control in the perioperative period which may facilitate earlier discharge, improve postoperative rehabilitation, improve patient satisfaction, and decrease the use of opioids postoperatively. In addition to improved analgesia, use of CPNB is associated with less sedation, nausea, and pruritis. Various techniques for removal include open surgery, minimally invasive techniques under fluoroscopic guidance, manipulation of patient position, and prolonged traction

Case Report Pages 82-84
Abstract: Suction of the endotracheal tube (ETT) is frequently required for mechanically ventilated patients in the operating room or intensive care unit. It can efficiently remove a mucosal plug or clots, and it maintains airway patency by preventing airway from narrowing or clogging. However, several complications related to ETT suction have been described [1- 8]. We report this unusual case of a suction catheter stuck in an ETT and split by forcibly pulling.
