Study procedures: This study will involve recruiting patients who are scheduled to undergo surgery that requires a regional nerve block via local anesthetic delivery through a perineural catheter. We wish to compare the CON and CTN catheterization methods for delivering local anesthetic during common regional blocks. One hundred patients will be recruited to assess the usefulness of the CON method in delivering local anesthetic. Patients in the study group will receive a continuous infusion of local anesthetic through a CON catheter. Patients in the control group will receive continuous local anesthetic through a CTN catheter. To make data collection easier, we will perform assessments at several locations in the Edmonton zone; anesthesiologists at each location will be asked to participate in performing the blocks and record their assessment of the two catheterization methods.
