Study Summary
Regional analgesia via caudal neuraxial blockade provides pain relief for pediatric patients following urological and lower extremity procedures. The injection of local anesthetic into the caudal epidural space causes a sensory loss. This sympathetic blockade in turn causes a vasodilation, or increased blood flow, to the lower extremities. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the FLIR ONE thermographic camera, a smartphone attachment which utilizes an application ("app") to measure the temperature at a site on an image of the lower extremity, will be able to differentiate between caudal, non-caudal, and failed caudal images.
Primary Outcome
Reviewers blinded to intervention groups will asses patient pre-caudal, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 minute post-caudal images and rate whether, based on the image, they believe the patient received a caudal or not. The sensitivity and specificity of the FLIR ONE as a diagnositic tol will then be determined.
