Randomized Controlled TrialThe hemodynamic effects of newborn caudal anesthesia assessed by transthoracic echocardiography: a randomized, double-blind, controlled study.
Caudal anesthesia has been increasingly used in abdominal, urinary tract, and lower extremity surgery of infants. However, little was known about the hemodynamic effects of caudal anesthesia in them, especially in neonates. The purpose of this prospective study was designed to investigate the hemodynamic alterations by transthoracic echocardiography in newborn baby after caudal anesthesia with plain Bupivacaine or with epinephrine added Bupivacaine. ⋯ The study shows the stability of hemodynamic variables during caudal anesthesia with Bupivacaine and with epinephrine-added Bupivacaine in newborn infants.
