What this Trial Is About
Caudal epidural anesthesia was reported as the first epidural anesthesia technique in 1933, but its use began to become widespread after the 1960s (1). The procedure is reliable, easy to perform, the incidence of complications is low, and the total complication rate is 1.5/1000; Serious complications occur at a rate of 1/40000. There are many methods to demonstrate the success of caudal epidural block. Some of the common traditional methods are changes in mean arterial pressure and heart rate. These methods are sometimes not objective and take time. In this study, we will examine the block success in pediatric patients who underwent caudal epidural block, which is applied in our hospital, whether the Galvanic skin response measured with a finger probe, other than traditional methods, correlates with the block success, and whether it shows faster block success compared to other traditional methods.
