Brief Summary:
The investigators prospectively document infectious neurological and other complications or adverse events occurring during peripheral regional anesthesia via a catheter using computer-based data recording
Detailed Description:
Perineural blocks with catheter placement are more and more frequently used Few data dealing with infectious complications of perineural catheters exist We assess incidence and localization of infectious complications of perineural catheters by means of computerized data acquisition We prospectively evaluate perineural catheters placed at different sites for regional anesthesia and postoperative analgesia The catheters were placed under standardized sterile conditions by using the nerve stimulator technique Local inflammation is defined as the presence of at least two of the three signs redness pain on pressure or swelling Infection is defined as the presence of at least two of the following criteria pus at the catheter insertion site fever increased CRP andor leukocytes requiring antibiotic therapy
