caudal block in Koreans: A Study Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging," Anaesthesia, vol.
The technician noted down the name of the patient and the drug given which was not revealed to the anaesthesiologist administering the
caudal block and monitoring the patient.
Patients were administered
caudal block and drug administered according to the study group.
The double blind study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of ketamine co-administered with bupivacaine in
caudal block for providing postoperative analgesia in paediatric patients.
The time between the
caudal block and administration of the first rescue analgesic drug was noted.
The
caudal block was performed by an experienced anaesthetist using a 23 gauge short-bevel needle under aseptic conditions.
demonstrated that ropivacaine 0.2% (2 mg/mL) for
caudal block provide satisfactory postoperative pain relief after inguinal surgery in 4-12 years' children.
Heart rate was very much stable in GA with
caudal block group patients.
DISCUSSION: Motor block resulting from
caudal block is distressing to children and delays hospital discharge.
Under strict aseptic precautions, with a 22 G hypodermic needle single shot
caudal block was performed, by an anaesthesiologist blinded to the drug which was to be administered to the epidural space.
(2) Unfortunately motor blockade resulting from
caudal block may be a Cause of distress in post-operative period and may lead to delayed hospital discharge.
60 80.2 The variation in pulse rate after the
caudal block is shown in above table.
