title: [Inadvertent peripheral nerve catheter shearing occurring during ultrasound guidance].
abstract: We report two cases of inadvertent peripheral nerve catheter (PNC) shearing that occurred during placement under ultrasound guidance. Same PNC kits were used in two different hospitals. The possible causes of PNC shearing are exposed. Differences and mechanical properties of different PNC kits are discussed. The management of retained PNC carried out in these cases is presented.
