Answer 2

The correct answer is OPTION 3. Securing the catheter outside of the skin.

EXPLANATION:

• Placing an epidural catheter enables anaesthetics and analgesics to be incorporated close into the dermatomes right in the surgical area/site.
• This kind of arrangement permits maximum analgesia with the help of small doses in the area where pain fibres meet the spinal cord.
• For this dose enhancement purpose, securing is done outside of the skin.
