Recently . . . discussing what to do when you have a "wet tap", while placing a lumbar labor epidural. Some colleagues would place the epidural catheter intrathecally . . . in contrast, other colleagues would simply start over and replace the epidural catheter . . . epidurally. We'd like to hear from the Anesthesia Sphere as to your experiences. Link: http://boards.medscape.com/forums?14@@.2a33ae98!comment=1
