The case of a 67 year-old woman who underwent left rotator cuff repair with subacromial decompression and acromioplasty with general anesthesia and a posterior cervical paravertebral catheter for postoperative pain control is presented. The catheter was placed without apparent incident and appropriate neural block and analgesia were achieved. On attempted removal of the catheter, resistance was encountered and a knot in the catheter was identified. Imaging showed no entanglement of nerve or vascular structures. Using a small skin incision, the catheter was successfully removed.

Cardiac Catheterization IV: Nursing Management

Nursing responsibilities before cardiac catheterization include:Assess for allergies and establish baseline health status.Before cardiac catheterization, assess the patient for allergies to contrast dye. Perform a comprehensive baseline assessment, including vital signs, heart and breath sounds, and a neurovascular assessment of the extremities, noting distal pulses, skin color, and temperature. Instruct the patient to fast for 8-12 hours before the procedure. Evaluate baseline laboratory...
