Catheter migration is a well-recognized complication in regional anesthesia that can compromise both the safety and effectiveness of pain management. This phenomenon is particularly relevant in the context of epidural and peripheral nerve block procedures, where catheter stability is essential for consistent analgesia. The incidence of catheter migration, as well as its risk factors and prevention strategies, has been the subject of ongoing research in medical literature.

It can be hard at times to be confident in yourself in the operating room. There are still a few cases where I’m not totally confident in myself. There are times I still get nervous to ask questions or speak up about things or even just to defend myself when the need arises. I would rather be quiet & move on. There will always be times I don’t think I’m good enough (but there are plenty of people who think I am & have said as much ).

When they operate in silos, miscommunication is inevitable, leading to errors and delays that can inhibit operations and even harm patients. To help both departments function smoothly, it’s imperative to create an environment for clear communication, consistent reporting, good-faith problem-solving, and mutual understanding.
