Abstract
Nine solutions containing opiod analgesics and local anesthetics as typically use in epidural catheters were tested for antimicrobial stability. Administration via a pefusor syringe requires several refill processes. It was shown that repetitive refilling of the syringes did not result in any microbiological contamination.
