The article discusses the importance of maintaining an epidural register, or log book, in anesthesia practice. The register is used to keep a record of all epidural catheters placed during surgeries to ensure proper follow-up and avoid complications. The authors present a case where the register helped identify a patient who had been discharged with an epidural catheter still in place, allowing for timely removal. They suggest guidelines for maintaining the register, including entering accurate patient data, having experienced staff remove the catheters, and regular checking of the register by anesthesia residents and consultants. The authors emphasize that maintaining an epidural register is crucial for preventing complications and legal issues in institutions where many epidural catheters are placed daily.
