- Brief Summary
This study is a randomised controlled single blinded clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of Perfusion Index as a predictor of successful caudal block in children under 5 years.Perfusion index is measured at baseline and after caudal block in one group and without caudal block in another group.More than 100% Increase in perfusion index will be considered as onset of successful caudal block
