Retained Supraclavicular Peripheral Nerve Catheter

Authors: Jimmy Suggs, MD, David Mauro, MD and Ricardo Serrano, MD

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

Authors: Soo Yeon Kim, Kyu Nam Kim, Sun Jung Eun, Min Kyu Lee and Mi Sun Kang

Abstract: Suction of the endotracheal tube (ETT) is frequently required for mechanically ventilated patients in the operating room or intensive care unit.

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.
