Caudal Epidural Block Versus Ultrasound-Guided Pudendal Nerve Block for Pediatric Circumcision

NCT04268511 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2020-08-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The regional anesthesia methods of caudal epidural block (CEB) and dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) play an important role in providing postoperative pain control in pediatric circumcision surgery. However, the short-term postoperative analgesic effect and the risk of block failure limit the use of DPNB, a peripheral nerve block.

Conditions

  • Circumcision

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Caudal epidural block group

The linear probe of ultrasound was then rotated 90 degrees and placed longitudinally in the midline to evaluate the sacral cornus, sacrococcygeal ligament and sacral bone. A 22 Gauge 50 mm echogenic block needle was advanced

PROCEDURE

Pudendal nerve block group

A 22 Gauge 50 mm insulated needle was then introduced in the anterior-posterior direction at the middle of the ultrasound probe's superior edge with an out-of-plane approach and using an inclination of 15° in the sagittal plane. The needle tip's position was identified by direct visualization using the movement of adjacent anatomical structures.
