Correlation of Block Success with Perfusion Index Measurement in Cases of Pediatric Surgery Under Caudal Epidural Block Anesthesia

CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained from our study show that the increase in PI values is associated with caudal epidural block success. The PI value is more rapid, sensitive and objective than those produced by other parameters. Benefits include an earlier change in anesthesia management due to block failure and faster initiation to surgery, which reduces exposure to anesthetic chemicals.PMID:38363268 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.11.012
