Response - NO
Brief Summary   Caudal block is one of the commonest regional techniques performed in children.It is usually performed under I.v. sedation which makes it difficult to assess the success and onset of the caudal block.So, there have been various methods to detect the success of the caudal block. Recently, perfusion index has been used to assess the success of caudal anaesthesia in adults. Perfusion index is non invasive technique that measures the peripheral perfusion and we will monitor the perfusion index trends after caudal block as well as we will study the role of perfusion index, haemodynamic variables in detecting onset and adequacy of caudal block.
