Effects of Fixation Technique On Thoracic Epidural Catheter Displacement

"All thoracic epidurals will be placed by a regional anesthesia resident or fellow under the direct supervision of an attending anesthesiologist using a standard epidural kit and in the paramedian approach.~Epidural placement will occur preoperatively in the same manner as our current practice criterion. There will be no difference in placement of the epidural catheter between the control groups and the treatment group. After placement, catheters will be secured with either Dermabond, Mastisol, or a Grip-Lok fixation bandage, all with overlying Tegaderms."
