Case control study of epidural catheter infections in a district general hospital.

Ten infections associated with the use of epidural catheters for post-operative pain relief were identified in patients of a district general hospital in 1997 and 1998. A case control study showed that the infections were commoner in the summer months and associated with analgesia infused by syringes rather than pumps. Infection rates and risk factors can be analysed regularly if pain teams maintain a database of epidural catheters inserted, which includes information about infections.

Dentists must be flexible in their approach to the patient, yet never compromise the standard of care. Examination of case histories provides illustrations and examples.
