“…This habit may increase the risk for injecting tissue cores intrathecally. Waiting for CSF to drip from the hub before injecting may reduce the injection incidence of tissue cores, as suggested by the finding that epithelial cells are present in the first ml of CSF collected from 6.9% of 27‐G Quincke needles introduced without a skin nick (73).…”

“…However, these recommendations are not based on randomised controlled studies or evidenced‐based medicine because varicella in pregnant women is not common. Tissue coring with hollow spinal needles resulting in the spread of epithelial cells into the epidural and intrathecal spaces has been reported during epidural analgesia and lumbar puncture [14, 15]. We suggest that the pencil point needle used in this patient may reduce the potential risk of introducing infective viral material into the central nervous system.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Regional anesthesia is usually preferred as caudal block via the epidural space. However, the number of large-scale studies including pediatric caudal blocks is small. The objective of this study was to evaluate complications and side effects of local anesthetics and adjuvant drugs.DESIGN AND SETTING:Retrospective, descriptive study of cases occurring during the period December 2007 to October 2009.METHODS:Of 4815 medical records were screened, 2088 pediatric cases were identified and included in this study.RESULTS:As a local anesthetic, we preferred mostly levobupivacaine in 1669 (79.9%) patients and bupivacaine in 419 (20.1%) patients. As adjuvant drug, we preferred mostly morphine (41 patients), fentanyl (7 patients) and adrenaline (6 patients) in 54 (2.5%) patients. For general anesthesia induction, we preferred mostly propofol (1996 patients, 94.2%); for maintenance, sevoflurane (1773 patients, 84.9%). For airway control, we preferred mostly the ProSeal laryngeal mask (PLMA), in 1008 (48.2%) patients. One thousand six hundred five (76.9%) patients were from outpatient clinics and 483 (23.1%) patients were from inpatient clinics. No permanent complication was encountered after caudal blocks.CONCLUSION:We conclude that caudal epidural blocks are a safe and effective method for subumbilical day-case pediatric surgeries when performed by anesthetists.
