Response - NO
Brief Summary   Regional anesthesia obtunds tress responses to surgery and anesthesia. We propose to evaluate the blood sugar profiles amongst children undergoing abdominal surgery with caudal analgesia with and without dextrose supplementation with a view to document the safety of withholding dextrose containing solutions in children undergoing surgery.
