Evaluation of perfusion index as a predictor of successful caudal block in pediatric patients: A prospective randomized study.
Background and aims: Caudal block is among the most widely administered regional anesthesia in pediatric patients. The clinical signs and objective assessments are not fast and reliable enough to provide a good feedback. Perfusion index (PI) is considered as a sensitive marker to assess the efficacy of caudal block. We aim to assess PI as an indicator for success of caudal block in pediatric patients.
Material and methods: Sixty pediatric patients scheduled for elective surgery of lower abdomen and below were included. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups (n = 30): Group 1 received caudal block after general anesthesia and Group 2 only received general anesthesia. PI, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and anal sphincter tone (AST) were recorded at 5, 10, 15, and 20 min following induction of anesthesia.
Results: A persistent increase in the PI value was observed in Group 1 starting from 5 min till 20 min, as compared to Group 2, at all the time intervals. When mean PI was statistically compared between both the groups, it was found to be highly significant (P = 0.001). Group 1 patients have progressive laxity of AST which was found to be significantly different from Group 2 (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: We have found that both PI and AST are good indicators for assessing success of caudal block onset in pediatric patients but AST took slightly longer time (~20 mins). Therefore, we conclude that PI is simple, economical, and noninvasive monitor that predicts the caudal onset much earlier than AST.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
