Description

We administered 0.8ml/kg of 1% mepivacaine without epinephrine as an initial dose and then added 0.4ml/kg every 45 minutes through a catheter for continuous caudal anesthesia and continuous lumbar epidural anesthesia in pediatric patients. Blood concentrations of mepivacaine were measured 20 minutes after administration.<br>There was no significant difference between mepivacaine concentrations in either group, and even after administering a maximum of nine supplementary doses, concentrations remained below the toxic level.<br>Consequently, when caudal anesthesia is selected for operations of the perineum or lower limbs, and lumbar epidural anesthesia for operations of the low abdomen, these dosages enable an adequate level of anesthesia and may be used safely for extended periods of time.<br>If anesthesia techniques and drug dosages are used correctly, we believe caudal and lumbar epidural anesthesia can be safely used in children.
