CAUDAL ANALGESIA: A SIMPLE AND SAFE TECHNIQUE IN PAEDIATRIC SURGERY

BY ARMANDO FORTUNA Santos, SP, Brazil

SUMMARY

A series of 170 infants and children were operated upon under caudal analgesia. Lignocaine was used in concentrations from 0.5 to 2 per cent. The average dose employed was 10 mg/kg body weight. Analgesia was satisfactory in 91.7 per cent of cases. Complete failure occurred in 5.2 per cent of patients. No serious accidents or complications were seen due to the anaesthetic method. In the author's experience this technique represents a safe, reliable and simple way to produce surgical analgesia in infants and children, especially in those needing emergency surgery who are in poor condition.
