Caudal Blockade and Electrocardiographic Changes

NCT03368833 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 5

Last updated 2023-02-23

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Regional Anesthesia Morbidity

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Electrocardiogram

12-lead ECG will be obtained after induction and at 5, 10, 20, 30, and 60 minutes after the caudal epidural block.
