| Abstract Background: Caudal block is the most commonly used technique of regional anesthesia performed on children that is suitable for use during various types of surgical interventions located below the level of the navel .This technique provides a safe approach to the epidural space in children. Patients and Methods: A total of 40 pediatric patients of both sex, ASA I and II, aged between 2 to 6 years, scheduled for lower abdominal surgery, under general anesthesia were included in the study. Patients were randomly allocated into 2 equal groups each containing 20 patient. Group (CB) received ultrasound guided Caudal Block in a dose 2.5mg/kg of bupivacaine (0.25%) and group (C) didn’t receive any block. Results: There was a significant increase in HR, Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure in the Control group than (CB) group that had more hemodynamic stability Conclusion: we concluded that caudal block is an easy and safe technique and causes more hemodynamic stability. | ||
