Summary
Is the early removal of Foley catheter safe in patients undergoing general thoracic surgery with an epidural catheter in place?
Detailed description
We hypothesis that removing the foley catheter within 48 hours after a thoracotomy in patients that have an epidural catheter will result in an increase in the rate of urinary infections and the need for reinsertion of the foley. We have designed a randomized trial to test this hypothesis.
