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).
