Abstract

Dear Professor Davidson,
We refer to the article ‘Caudal block, high flow oxygen insufflation and dexmedetomidine sedation for inguinal hernia surgery in infants—A prospective evaluation of an alternative anesthesia technique' published in Pediatric Anesthesia in November 2024. Here, we would like to report a retrospective analysis of the 18-month period following completion of this initial study.
