A Comparative Study Between Effects of Ultrasound Guided Ilioinguinal /Iliohypogastric Nerve Block VersusCaudal Block On Postoperative Analgesia In ChildrenUndergoing Inguinal Surgery

Abstract

Regional anesthesia plays an important role in the perioperative anesthetic management of children and particularly of babies and neonates undergoing surgery. Perfect block techniques are required for an improved perioperative outcome. With performing blocks using blind techniques, there is a significant high failure rates and possible serious complications. Also although all the blocks used in adult practice are possible in children many blocks are underused or avoided. This is largely from fear of complications and failure, and limited experience with complicated techniques.
