Caudal epidural blockade is frequently used as an adjunct to general anesthesia in children
for perioperative analgesia. Intravascular injection of local anesthetic is a known
complication that can adversely affect the neurological and cardiovascular systems. This
study will look at the delayed effects of a caudal epidural block on the electrical activity
of the patient's myocardium by trying to characterize the incidence of ECG changes within 60
minutes after the caudal dose is given.
