A Systematic Review of Caudal Anesthesia and Postoperative Outcomes in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Patients.
Malak MaharramovaKatherine L TaylorPublished in: Seminars in cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia (2018)
The data quality in this review is too poor to make recommendations regarding incorporation of caudal anesthesia into clinical practice. Caudal anesthesia may be favorable for early extubation, improved pain, and hemodynamics and reduced LOS. There are many other anesthetic alternatives to facilitate early extubation. Our review is limited by heterogeneous populations, variable pain measurement scales, and absent definitions of extubation indicators.
