Official title
Epidural Pressure Changes Following Caudal Blockade: A Prospective Observational Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study is a prospective study of epidural pressure changes when local anesthetic is injected from the caudal route. All patients will receive the same weight based volume dose of local anesthetic after induction of general anesthesia, and a CVP transducer will be attached to the standard caudal needle for measurement of pressure: under the skin, after entering the epidural space, and every 15 seconds for 3 minutes after completion of injection with the needle in situ. The placement of the caudal epidural will follow current standard of care and administration, the only variation will be the addition of a pressure transducer to the stopcock where the local anesthetic syringe is attached that will allow for pressure monitoring.
