摘要
Chronic catheterization of the subarachnoid space of rats is an important tool for intrathecal drug delivery in pharmacologic investigations of pain. We describe a technique using direct lumbar insertion of a small 32-gauge polyurethane (PU) catheter without extensive surgery. Location of the catheter was confirmed with 2% lidocaine injection 1 day later, and methylene blue injection after 7-14 days. This method improved recovery of the rat after catheter implantation and reduced neurologic complications.
