Background: Continuous peripheral nerve catheters (CPNCs) have been used for postoperative pain relief. A common problem encountered with CPNCs is pericatheter leakage which can lead to dressing adhesive failure. Frequent dressing changes increase the risk of catheter dislodgement and infections. Adhesive glue is effective in securing peripheral nerve catheter and decreasing leakage around the catheter insertion site. This study is aimed to evaluate the incidence of pericatheter leakage by using fixation with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate glue (Demabond®) compared to sterile strip.Methods: Thirty patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with continuous femoral nerve catheter for postoperative analgesia were randomized to catheter fixation with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate glue (Demabond®) group or sterile strip group. The primary outcome was the incidence of pericatheter leakage. Secondary outcomes included: frequent of catheter displacement, difficulty of catheter removal, pain score and patient satisfaction.Results: The incidence of pericatheter leakage at 24 and 48 hours was 0% versus 93% and 0% versus 100% in the Demabond and sterile strip group, respectively (P < 0.001). The incidence of displacement at 24 and 48 hours was 6.7% versus 93.3% and 6.7% versus 100%, respectively (P < 0.001). There was no difference in numeric rating scale, difficulty of catheter removal as well as satisfaction scores between groups.Conclusion: Catheter fixation with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate glue (Demabond®) decreased the incidence of pericatheter leakage as well as catheter displacement over 48 hours when compared to sterile strip fixation. |
