Multihole or Epidural Catheter for Local Anesthetic in the Wound

June 16, 2009 updated by: Hvidovre University Hospital

Postoperative administration of local anesthetics is effective for postoperative pain management across surgical specialties but the optimal type of catheter (single, few or multiholed catheters) has not been determined.

This study investigates wound spread of a radioactive isotope (technetium) administered in different types of catheters after total hip arthroplasty.
