Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the reliability of SPI in predicting the success of caudal block in anaesthetized childrenTimepoint: heart rate, Blood pressure,SPI will be monitored throughout the procedure and recorded at the time of skin incision and an interval of 5 minutes after the time of incision till the beginning of skin closure

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the accuracy with which the anaesthesiologist will be able to diagnose the success of caudal block intraoperativelyTimepoint: Intaoperative assessment throughout the surgery, 30 mins after surgery
