Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Caudal epidural blockade is frequently used as an adjunct to general anesthesia in children for perioperative analgesia. Intravascular injection of local anesthetic is a known complication that can adversely affect the neurological and cardiovascular systems. This study will look at the delayed effects of a caudal epidural block on the electrical activity of the patient's myocardium by trying to characterize the incidence of ECG changes within 60 minutes after the caudal dose is given.
