Caudal blocks.

چکیده
Caudal anesthesia is the single most important pediatric regional anesthetic technique. The technique is relatively easy to learn (1), has a remarkable safety record (2), and can be used for a large variety of procedures. The technique has been reviewed in the English (3) and French (4) literature, as well as in German guidelines (5) and in pediatric anesthesia textbooks (6).

Preemptive Analgesia in Children with Caudal Blocks
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the preemptive analgesic effect and duration of postoperative analgesia after caudal blocks in children. Methods: Forty-five children who underwent distal hypospadias surgery were assigned to group one (n=23) received caudal bupivacaine (0.25%) 0.5 mg kg-1 and midazolam 0.05 mg kg-1 before the surgical incision, and group two (n=22) who receiv...
متن کاملUltrasonography and pediatric caudals.
Ultrasound is an important tool for performing pediatric regional blocks, including caudal blocks. We present a case in which the availability of ultrasound allowed us to proceed with a successful caudal block which we otherwise might have abandoned in an infant with difficult anatomy.

BACKGROUND The caudal block is the most commonly performed regional anesthesia technique in pediatric patients undergoing surgical procedures, but safety concerns raised by previous reports remain to be addressed. Our main objective in current investigation was to estimate the overall and specific incidence of complications associated with the performance of caudal block in children. METHODS ...
متن کاملComparison of saddle, lumbar epidural and caudal blocks on anal sphincter tone: A prospective, randomized study
Objective To compare the effects of saddle, lumbar epidural and caudal blocks on anal sphincter tone using anorectal manometry. Methods Patients undergoing elective anorectal surgery with regional anaesthesia were divided randomly into three groups and received a saddle (SD), lumbar epidural (LE), or caudal (CD) block. Anorectal manometry was performed before and 30 min after each regional bloc...

متن کاملEffects of caudal block with mepivacaine on resting ventilation and ventilatory response to carbon dioxide in sedated children.
We examined the effects of caudal anaesthesia using 10 mg.kg-1 of one or two per cent mepivacaine without epinephrine on resting ventilation, arterial blood gas tensions and the ventilatory response to carbon dioxide in 27 sedated children. Expired minute volume and respiratory frequency decreased significantly after the caudal blocks in both groups. PaO2 and PaCO2 remained unchanged in both gr...
