A caudal block is a type of central neuraxial block, most commonly used in pediatrics to provide analgesia for surgeries up to the umbilicus, and in adults for chronic low back pain management. Caudal blocks can be performed by using the blind technique or with increasing accuracy via ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance. This activity describes the anatomy, indications, contraindications, and approach to performing caudal anesthesia, and highlights the role of the healthcare team in enhancing care for patients who undergo caudal anesthesia.
