AbstractThe process of inserting a perineural catheter on femoral region for a regional anesthesia is quite common amongst hospital practices. The resulting infectious complications, although rare, remain potentially serious. For instance, many cases of severe sepsis were described in medical literature. In this paper, we will be presenting two cases of infections that were under serious investigation and led to major improvements of practice in the related hospitals. At the same time, we will give a reminder of good practices in inserting perineural catheters.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
