AbstractLocal anesthetic-associated cardiac toxicity following caudal epidural blockade is, fortunately, a rare event. Prompt recognition and early treatment is the key to successful resuscitation. Early use of the lipid emulsion Intralipid in bupivacaine-induced cardiac toxicity may lead to a good outcome.
