| Abstrakt: | Caudal anesthesia is a commonly used regional anesthetic technique that can be useful in providing peri- and post-operative analgesia. It can serve as the sole anesthetic or can be an adjuvant to general anesthesia. The utility of caudal anesthesia occurs mainly in pediatrics for sub-umbilical surgeries and adults for chronic low back pain management. Per a retrospective study of 750 caudal blocks performed in children conducted by Dalens et al., a success rate of 96% was reported.[1] With the advent of fluoroscopy and ultrasound-guided caudal epidural placement, proper needle placement is assessable to reduce block failure rates further.[2] (Copyright © 2021, StatPearls Publishing LLC.) |
