Continuous intercostal nerve blockade was used to provide analgesia after cholecystectomy. The blockade was maintained by the insertion of a single extradural catheter into an appropriate intercostal space and by "topping-up" with local anaesthetic on demand. ⋯ A mean improvement of 37% on pre- "top-up" peak flows, was found. It is suggested that continuous intercostal analgesia is a a safe, reliable and powerful form of analgesia which may improve respiratory function after cholecystectomy.
