Ultrasonography and Pediatric Caudals

Abstract

In Brief Ultrasound is an important tool for performing pediatric regional blocks, including caudal blocks. We present a case in which the availability of ultrasound allowed us to proceed with a successful caudal block which we otherwise might have abandoned in an infant with difficult anatomy. IMPLICATIONS: The authors describe the use of ultrasound to guide placement of a caudal block in an infant with difficult anatomy.
