Anesthesia Caudal

Caudal anesthesia is a pain management technique that uses an injection of an anesthetic into the tailbone area to reduce or eliminate pain. This method is one of the most common methods of pain relief for various surgical procedures and operations.

Caudal anesthesia involves injecting a local anesthetic through a needle into the area between the sacrum and coccyx. After administration, the anesthetic spreads along the nerve fibers, which leads to a decrease in sensitivity in this area.

The advantages of caudal anesthesia include rapid onset of pain relief, low risk of complications, and use in patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease. However, this method may also cause some side effects such as nausea, vomiting and headache.

In general, caudal anesthesia is an effective method of pain control for surgical procedures, but a careful assessment of the risks and benefits must be performed before its use.
