[Caudal anesthesia in pediatric surgery]
Insights
Caudal anesthesia offers a safe and effective alternative for pediatric surgery, particularly for procedures below the T10 level. This technique provides postoperative pain relief and avoids complications associated with general anesthesia and intubation.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Pediatric Surgery
Abstract:
Caudal anaesthesia in pediatric surgery about 116 cases (children from three weeks to 18 years with 64 below 5 years) is reported. The caudal anaesthesia, at 6 mg/kg, is very usefull for surgery below T 10 because: --it can be used in day surgery, --it avoids intubation and its complications, --it allows feeding as soon as required, --it gives a post operative analgesia. In our practice, this technique is safe and is real progress compare to the general anaesthesia.
