Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main objective of the recent study is to investigate the need of additional anesthetic agents such as Propofol in children with caudal blockade undergoing lower body surgery. To evaluate the level of sedation we use the Comfort-B Skala19 ( a sedation score for children). The evaluation starts at skin incision by the surgery (every 10 minutes) until the transfer to the normal ward.
