    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Epidural anesthesia is a common procedure for pain management.
    • Complications can arise during epidural catheter placement and removal.

    Observation:

    • A case of a fractured epidural catheter during removal is presented.
    • The catheter fractured during the removal process.

    Findings:

    • The patient's back was not in a flexed position during catheter removal.
    • A flexed patient position is essential for safe epidural catheter removal.

    Implications:

    • Proper patient positioning is critical to avoid epidural catheter breakage.
    • This case highlights the importance of adhering to established protocols for epidural catheter removal to ensure patient safety.
