epidural catheters

[Janousek, Patricia]

I have been asked by our OB CNS to find out current practice on wearing a mask to remove an epidural catheter. We are making it part of our policy that a mask should be worn for insertion, but are wondering about removal. And could you cite references please.  Thank you, Patty     This message and any included attachments are from Nebraska Methodist Health System and its affiliates and are intended only for the addressee.
