Effectiveness of Perfusion index for Predicting Onset of Paediatric Caudal Block under Sevoflurane Anaesthesia
Abstract:
Introduction: The caudal block is widely used in paediatric day case surgery as a regional anaesthesia technique. Assessing the onset of caudal block can be challenging since paediatric surgeries are typically performed under general anaesthesia. Clinical signs and objective assessments may not provide timely or reliable feedback. The perfusion index (PI) is viewed as an early and efficient indicator for detecting the onset of caudal block.
