Continuous peripheral nerve block (CPNB) catheters, also known as perineural-catheters, extend the potential duration of anesthesia and analgesia provided by peripheral nerve block techniques. In the ambulatory setting, the use of CPNB has been shown to increase the quality of pain control experienced by patients at home as well as reduce the incidence of side effects produced by conventional opioid analgesics. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
