Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To identify correlation of actual depth of epidural space versus ultrasound depth for the para-median approach in the thoracic region in the paediatric population (upto 10 years).Timepoint: After the induction of anaesthesia—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To understand the association between ultrasound and actual epidural depth with respect to age and weight of the child. 2. To assess image quality of ultrasound of the posterior dural complex in children. 3. To assess the effectiveness of the epidural blockade. Timepoint: At the end of the surgery—
