Actual (reported)This study is a prospective study of epidural pressure changes when local anesthetic is injected from the caudal route. All patients will receive the same weight based volume dose of local anesthetic after induction of general anesthesia, and a CVP transducer will be attached to the standard caudal needle for measurement of pressure: under the skin, after entering the epidural space, and every 15 seconds for 3 minutes after completion of injection with the needle in situ. The placement of the caudal epidural will follow current standard of care and administration, the only variation will be the addition of a pressure transducer to the stopcock where the local anesthetic syringe is attached that will allow for pressure monitoring.

Actual (reported)Pressure in the Caudal Epidural Space
After administration of the single-shot bolus dose of the local anesthetic agent (1 mL/kg), the immediate post-bolus pressure was measured.
Immediately post bolus
Patients receiving caudal anesthesia as standard of care for a surgical procedure. Our study adds a monitoring line to the needle for the caudal. The caudal itself is not part of the study.
The caudal itself is a separate procedure not covered by this observational study. This study simply attaches a monitoring device to the needle used for the caudal to measure pressures. The caudal takes place whether the observation of pressures is agreed to or not, as per standard protocol.
Registry-reported names are shown in full. Names without a link have not yet been matched to a Syfrah profile.
