Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Utility of epidural catheterization by the caudal route in pediatric anesthesia].
To compare analgesic effect of bupivacaine during and after surgery when delivered through a lumbar epidural catheter entering by the caudal route with either caudal or lumbar administration of anesthetic through the needle. ⋯ Epidural anesthesia by way of a catheter entering by the caudal space allows us to achieve intra- and postoperative analgesia of comparable quality to that afforded by a lumbar approach or a single direct caudal puncture.
