When The Anesthesia Needle Is Played in The Waist, The Needle Will Break

"Lumbar anesthesia needle", generally refers to spinal canal anesthesia, that is, the people said "half anesthesia", the use of a special lumbar puncture needle, the material is metal, unless there is a serious quality problem, otherwise it is basically impossible to break in operation. However, the lumbar needle (relatively thin) in the combined epidural anesthesia package and the epidural catheter (plastic or soft biological material) in the epidural outsourcing are likely to break, especially the epidural catheter. It's just that in the last decade or so epidural anesthesia has been done with disposable devices, not re-used devices that are repeatedly sterilized, and it's very, very rare that an epidural catheter breaks.
