Caudal anaesthesia in paediatric patients

Abstract

We have described our technique of caudal anaesthesia in children. This technique was used for relief of post-operative pain in 120 patients. Relief of pain was complete. Post-operative recovery was quiet and comfortable, with no side effects. The surgeons, the parents and recovery room personnel were satisfied. There were no surgical oranaesthetic complications. © 1978 Canadian Anesthesiologists.
