Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Ultrasound guided pediatric caudal dose: a two-center randomized controlled trial.
The drug volume to be used in caudal in pediatric patients has remained an unmet issue since long. We determined the minimum drug volume required to reach T10 level in pediatric patients using ultrasonography and compared it with the already established volume by Armitage formula. ⋯ A volume of 0.7 ml/kg of local anaesthetic in pediatric caudal block is sufficient to achieve a target of T10 level for infraumblical surgeries.
