    AbstractThe forces required to break and to remove catheters from epidural spaces were investigated. Provided the patient's back is fully flexed and a slow steady pull is applied to the epidural catheter, the extraction forces required at both thoracic and lumbar levels are well below the minimum force required to break the same catheters.
