Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Caudal epidural block is one of the most common methods to provide analgesia for an infraumbilical surgery in children. Although it can be carried out safely and easily, many complications have been described so far, because of inaccurate needle injections. To perform a successful block, a good caudal epidural anatomic assessment is essential. Ultrasonography is an important tool to perform pediatric regional blocks, including caudal blocks. We believe that caudal epidural ultrasound evaluation can be an important option to decrease complications and to achieve a successful attempt; due to that we will try to describe caudal epidural ultrasound imaging and changes from one month to 84 months.
