Abstract:
Two hundred women with singleton pregnancy at full term undergoing cesarean section with combined spinal-epidural anesthesia were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n=100 in each group). During anesthesia the polyvinyl chloride epidural catheter was used in control group and the wire-reinforced epidural catheter was used in study group.The results showed that the number of patients in whom blood or blood-tinted fluid was withdrawn from epidural catheter was significantly lower in study group than that in control group.The domestic wire-reinforced epidural catheter can reduce the incidence of blood vessel injury induced by insertion of epidural catheter.
