Cairo University (CU)

Status: Completed

Conditions: Caudal Block

Treatments: Device: Femoral artery Doppler

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

Doppler and caudal block

Details and patient eligibility

About

The ideal method to predict successful caudal block is still lacking. We hypothesized that the change in femoral artery Doppler indices could accurately predict successful caudal block

Full description

after institutional research ethics committee approval and obtaining informed consent from each participant. an experienced operator will examine the femoral artery using pulsed wave Doppler at baseline and 15 and 30 minutes after caudal block adminestration
