In vitro comparison of epidural bacteria filters permeability and screening scanning electron microscopy
Background and objectives: Epidural catheter bacteria filters are barriers in the patient-controlled analgesia/anaesthesia for preventing contamination at the epidural insertion site. The efficiency of these filters varies according to pore sizes and materials. Method: The bacterial adhesion capabil...
