Abstract:
Epidural administration of opioid and/or local anesthetics during general anesthesia is widespread method for postoperative pain control. Despite of its availability, inadvertent administration of non-epidural medications into epidural space can be associated with serious neurologic sequelae. We report a case of accidental epidural atracurium injection.
