PY - 2023 T2 - Obstetric Anesthesia: Quick References & Practical Guides AB - Intrathecal (IT) catheters, also known as continuous spinal anesthesia, are a reliable and effective neuraxial technique.1 Except in select cases, an intentional IT catheter is not recommended for labor analgesia due to the potential risks of high/total spinal anesthesia or devastating medication errors (Chapter 60, “High Spinal”).2 Here, the chapter focuses on the strategy and management of unintentional IT catheters in obstetric patients (Fig. 59-1).
