Summary

Neuraxial analgesia may improve postoperative outcomes for high-risk children who are susceptible to respiratory complications (e.g. post-operative apnea). The use of spinal anesthesia in infants and children requiring surgeries of the sub-umbilical regions is gaining considerable popularity worldwide. Caudal analgesia along with general anesthesia is a very popular regional technique for prolonged postoperative analgesia in different pediatric surgical procedures where the surgical site is sub-umbilical. Bupivacaine has been thoroughly studied, and a large global experience exists.
