摘要：

Difficulty with removal of an epidural catheter is described due to formation of a knot near the end of the catheter. It is stressed that in the lumbar area an epidural catheter should never be inserted more than 5 cm into the epidural space, as curling with knot formation may occur. Removal may be attempted by pulling on the catheter if testing of a similar catheter indicates that it will withstand the tension. The patient and the spouse should be kept informed and involved in the decision-making for medico-legal reasons. © 1979 Canadian Anesthesiologists.
