Uncertainty remains over the risk of epidural space infection after neuraxial blockade in the presence of systemic sepsis. For many years, we have provided epidural analgesia to children undergoing thoracotomy for the decortication of parapneumonic empyemas. Following recent publications asserting that epidural analgesia is absolutely contraindicated in this situation, we audited our management. The purpose of this audit was to document the effectiveness and the incidence of complications after epidural insertion in children with active sepsis from empyemas.
