Excerpt

The incidence of failure to achieve adequate postoperative analgesia via a thoracic epidural catheter has been reported to exceed 30%.1,2 This speaks to the difficulty of assessing correct catheter placement in the epidural space that directly relates to its function. Bearing this in mind, we were pleased to read the article in this issue of the Journal, by Balki et al.,3 which compared the agreement between the responses with a standard local anesthetic test dose and with the epidural electrical stimulation test (EEST) in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The study demonstrated that the EEST is a sensitive and effective test for confirming the correct position of a thoracic epidural catheter, which relates to its ability to provide adequate postoperative epidural analgesia. …
