A 64-year-old man was diagnosed to have a tracheal tumor 2 cm proximal to the carina. He was scheduled for tracheal resection and reconstruction with omentopexy. An epidual tube was placed at the level of T5-6. ⋯ After the operation, he was extubated under anesthesia without coughing. No pain was complained during postoperative course. Epidural anesthesia combined with TAPB provided sufficient postoperative analgesia, especially in tracheal resection and reconstruction with omentopexy.

We report the results of reviews by pharmacists of clerical errors in drugs used in the operating room by anesthesiologists from August 2005 to March 2007 at Fukuoka University Hospital. During the period, 9907 surgical patients were managed by anesthesiologists. ⋯ One medication error was detected by the review.
