In the experimental group, the researcher provided a cold application for 20 minutes by placing an ice bag to the site of the
femoral catheter. Immediately after its removal, the responsible nurse removed the catheter.
Inclusion criteria were consecutive patients 18 years of age or older who had at least one
femoral catheter and met criteria for a PT intervention.
The second
femoral catheter was removed for an MRI study 26 days later and was replaced the following day.
The rate of thrombosis related to
femoral catheter is reported to be higher compared to the rate of thrombosis related to internal jugular catheterization (13,30).
To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first prospective randomised trial comparing ultrasound and neurostimulation endpoints for
femoral catheter placement.
As administration of local anaesthetic via the
femoral catheter was considered as a possible mechanism, the infusion was stopped and the catheter was removed.
Patient satisfaction scores in the two groups receiving continuous peripheral nerve blocks via a 3-in1
femoral catheter reported more favourably (Figure 3) although the pain scores were not statistically different.

[11],[12],[13] In addition,
femoral catheters tend to lose patency earlier due to the proximity to the hip joint.
