Inclusion Criteria: * All pediatrics ASA I\&II aged 1-8 years undergoing elective lower abdominal surgeries. Exclusion Criteria: ASA ≥ III. Parents refusal of caudal block. Patients with coagulation disorders (Platelets ≤ 50,000 and/or INR\> 1.5). Patients with suspected or proved allergic to local anesthetics. Rash or signs of infection at the injection site. Patients requiring emergency or laparoscopic procedures.

What they're measuring

The percentage of change from the baseline measurement of the cardiac index CI 10 minutes after successful caudal block.

Timeframe: 10 minutes after caudal block.
