| description | Introduction: Caudal block is now- a –days a commonly used
procedure for pain management and regional anaesthesia. The
optimum volume of drugs required to reach the appropriate level
is needed.
Material and Methods: For this, we studied seventy-two human
sacra and measured morphometrics like height of canal and
transverse diameter. We utilized these measurements for volume
estimation of sacral canal and caudal space by forming a simple
mathematical formula for volume half-cone.
Results: We observed that mean volumes of sacral canal and
caudal space were 38.26 cm3
(23.76-62.78 cm3
) and 14.25cm3
(6.67-24 cm3
) respectively.Volumes of sacral canal and caudal
space had higher values in males than in females.
Conclusion: So, finally, it was concluded that volume of caudal
space could be easily calculated this way and it was as reliable
as MRI. |
