    BackgroundEpidural anesthesia is a useful tool for postoperative pain control. However, inappropriate fixing of the catheter not only hinders the analgesic effect, but could lead to serious accidents as a result of the untoward removal of the epidural catheter.MethodsIn our hospital, in order to reduce the removal of catheter, we introduced a new method of fixing by Steri-StripTM from fiscal 2011.ResultsWe compared 2337 cases of epidural use for general anesthesia in one fiscal year of 2010. In fiscal year 2011, 2500 examples were examined backward.ConclusionsThe group using the Steri-Strip, was able to significantly reduce the untoward removal (P = 0.002).
