Epi for caudals?

[urge]

Yes or no? How much?

I'm not adding epi but wonder what other people do.

 

[dhb]

No why?

 

[urge]

Why?- Same rationale we use for adding epi to epidurals.

Yes or no? How much?

I'm not adding epi but wonder what other people do.

We do at my institution, but I'm not sure if it's 1:100K vs 1:200K. We have a bottle of 0.25% Bupivacaine that has Epi premixed in it. I think it's 1:200K.

 

[Noyac]

I use it.

Always.

 

[coprolalia]

Single shots? Yes. Catheters? No.
