Brief summary

Since caudal blocks produce a temporary rise in the intracranial pressure and lowers the central perfusion pressure of the brain we aim to verify if that contributes to ischemic signs on the EEG

Interventions

EEG electrodes are connected to patients head with clay-like material to the patients that, regardless of the study should recieve a caudal block. After EEG is connected the caudal block is performed. The registration goes on until the surgery is finished or maximun 1 hour after the EEG registration started.
