Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied

Health Condition 1: 4- Measurement and Monitoring

Intervention(s)

Control Intervention1: Comparing perfusion index with heart rate , MAP , temperature in both upper limb and lover limb.: Well be comparing perfusion index , heart rate , MAP , Temperature to know which of them is most accurate and fast indicator of onset of caudal block. They will be measured at precaudal baseline , and post caudal block at 5 min , 10 min , 15 min , 20 min.

Primary Outcome(s)

To assess the onset of caudal block using serial perfusion index values at precaudal baseline postcaudal block at 5 minute 10 minute 15 minute 20 minute at skin incisionTimepoint: precaudal baseline postcaudal block at 5 minute 10 minute 15 minute 20 minute at skin incision

Secondary Outcome(s)

heart rate & MAP

Timepoint: precaudal baseline postcaudal block at 5 minute 10 minute 15 minute 20 minute at skin incision

Perfusion index in both upper limb & lower limb

Timepoint: precaudal baseline postcaudal block at 5 minute 10 minute 15 minute 20 minute at skin incision

Temperature in both upper & lower limbTimepoint: precaudal baseline postcaudal block at 5 minute 10 minute 15 minute 20 minute at skin incision
