“…This has been achieved by using nerve stimulator [15] and by the use of X-ray examination of catheter position post-implantation. In performing cPCB, incorrect positioning of catheter to sites in the abdominal cavity, retroperitoneal cavity, subarachnoid space, intervertebral disk or paravertebral space has been described [20,22,23]. The use of a stimulating catheter [24] in the current study has allowed successful perineural positioning of the catheter tip.…”

“…In our cases, general anaesthesia with lumbar and sacral plexus block was adopted as, spinal anaesthesia was contraindicated due to its vasodilatory effects and we were keen to avoid the side effects of morphine owing to the patients co-existing poor respiratory function. The option of a continuous catheter technique is not without potential side effects and therefore was not considered in these cases [8,9] . The duration of analgesia from single shot lumbar and sacral plexus lasts for at least 14-18 hours in most patients and more than 24hrs in the elderly.…”

“…A volume not exceeding 30-40mL should be used in order to prevent the epidural spread [21,22]. The other potential complications involve total spinal block, intravenous administrations, renal injuries and retroperitoneal hematoma [23][24][25]. It is recommended to have complete knowledge about anatomy; to perform the local anesthetic injections slowly with frequent aspirations, and to see the contractions clearly in the quadriceps muscle by using a nerve stimulator in order to avoid the complications [21].…”
