Wonders with Caudal Epidural Analgesia for Tracheoesophageal Fistula in Neonates: A Case Report

Some of the main goals of the anaesthesia plan for tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) repair is to provide good analgesia and a smooth post-operative recovery. The anaesthetic considerations in neonatal surgical emergencies are based on the physiological immaturity of various body systems, poor tolerance to anaesthetic drugs associated with congenital heart disease, and the preterm baby. Regional anaesthesia has been shown to be both safe and effective. This article describes the successful TEF repair of a one-day-old baby using caudal epidural analgesia in conjunction with GA. As a result, management of every TEF case with caudal block demonstrates excellent hemodynamic stability, postoperative pain relief for successful recovery, and increased baby survival. Caudal epidural analgesia may be employed usefully with general anesthesia in neonates.
