Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To determine the percentage of patients who completed surgery using only regional anesthesia without getting converted to general anesthesia.Timepoint: within 2 hours of start of the surgery.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Duration of anaesthesia, duration of surgery, time to start surgery, wake up time, total duration in the operative room, total duration in the PACU, time to successful caudal placement, number of attempts at caudal placement, intraoperative haemodynamics and any perioperative adverse events.Timepoint: Success rate of the ultrasound guided caudal block with sedation technique with no perioperative adverse event 12 hours post surgery with no protocol violations.	—
