چکیده
Aim of study: The objective of study is on sacrum for sacral hiatus due to its importance in epidural anesthesia. Place of study: This study was done in the department of anatomy at Velammal medical college hospital and research institute, Madurai, India. Period of study: This study was done during the month of February 2015. Materials and methods: 30 dry unknown human sacra from department of anatomy constituted the materials for the present study. Their dimensions were measured and sacral index were calculated for each sacrum. Shape, composition of sacrum, shape of sacral hiatus, level of sacral hiatus and curvature of the sacrum were noted down. Conclusion: Anatomical knowledge of sacral hiatus will be of great help in administering caudal analgesia through sacral hiatus.

BACKGROUND This study determined the landmarks for caudal epidural block (CEB) after morphometric measurements of the sacral hiatus on dry sacral bones. Anatomical features of the sacral hiatus of clinical importance during CEB, along with distances and angles of use in detecting the apex, were measured. This provides detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the sacral hiatus and practical landmark...

Caudal epidural block is a commonly used technique for surgical anesthesia in children and chronic pain management in adults. It is performed by inserting a needle through the sacral hiatus to gain entrance into the sacral epidural space. Using conventional blind technique, the failure rate of caudal epidural block in adults is high even in experienced hands. This high failure rate could be att...
