Study Summary
The purpose of our study is to evaluate whether utilizing ultrasound assessment during caudal epidural injection can reliably identify unrecognized and unsuccessful nerve blocks during the procedure, guide proper technique, and alter pain management outcome measurements for patients. Patients will be randomized to a group either undergoing caudal injection by a trainee using typical techniques or by using typical techniques in addition to ultrasound for confirmation of successful injection. The patients enrolled in this study will have the same intraoperative care, in line with the standard of care. Data will be collected intraoperatively and postoperatively on pain scores, time for performance of caudal block, and perceived success of the block. There will be no direct benefit to the patients enrolled in this study, but future patients may benefit from the use of ultrasound for the confirmation of a successful block.
Primary Outcome
Success in the ultrasonographic group will be estimated by ultrasound spread and in the traditional group by heart rate, need for additional medications, and pain scores.
Interventions
- PROCEDURE Ultrasound for confirmation of successful caudal block
