Summary

Ultrasound (US) has facilitated the use of caudal block in children and visualization of the needle during insertion. This prospective clinical trial study compares between two different sizes of the used needles, in terms of success rate, number of punctures, detection of the US signs (visualization of the needle, dural displacement, turbulence, and distention), and complications in pediatrics aging between 6-36 months requiring elective lower abdominal and perineal surgeries.

Conditions

  • Anesthesia
  • Pain
  • Caudal Block
  • Pediatric Anesthesia
  • Abdominal Surgeries

Interventions

DEVICE

The use of classical Gauge 22 needle

After induction of general anesthesia, patients will undergo caudal block by using classical Gauge 22 needle under ultrasound guidance using a linear probe 5.5-12 MHz.

DEVICE

The use of classical Gauge 27 needle

After induction of general anesthesia, patients will undergo caudal block by using Gauge 27 needle under ultrasound guidance using a linear probe 5.5-12 MHz.
