Effects Of Adjuvants to Caudal Anesthesia on Hemodynamics Measured By Electrical Cardiometry In Children

Summary

Caudal epidural anesthesia is one of the most common regional techniques used for post-operative pain management in pediatric patients. In this study we are going to compare the effects of caudal bupivacaine , caudal Dexamethasone with bubivacaine and Dexmedetomidine with bupivacaine on the systemic vascular resistance and the cardiac output, in pediatric patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries, by using the electrical cardiometry (EC).
