摘要
We present a case of a neonate with an epidural catheter placed via the caudal route after induction of general anaesthesia in whom the test doses of epinephrine-containing local anaesthetic was positive on two occasions. Remarkable tachycardia was noted after each of two separate injections through the catheter. Blood was never aspirated from the catheter and placement was without difficulty. After the catheter was removed, blood was noted at the tip.
