To the Editor:Although regional anesthesia provides prolonged post-operative analgesia,there is no suitable method that can facilitate an early reversal of the blockade until the duration of action of the local anesthetic has elapsed.A large quantity of saline is used to reverse the central neuraxial block.[1,2]However,to our knowledge,no study has reported a method for reversing nerve blockade in peripheral nerve blocks,especially costoclavicular blocks.Herein,we report a case of dramatic recovery of both motor and sensory functions after saline injection through the catheter in a patient who was administered a continuous costoclavicular block for analgesia after shoulder surgery.
