If the distance from the skin to the posterior epidural space can be anticipated, lumbar epidural anaesthesia in children for peri-operative analgesia requires careful technique and has a greater success rate. The primary purpose of this observational study is to determine the skin to epidural distance (SED) in the lumbar region in Indian children and determine whether there is a relationship between age, weight, and height. The epidural space is determined by the loss of resistance (LOR) to air. It is determined the distance between the tip of the needle and the place where we contacted LOR. We studied 52 youngsters who underwent lumbar epidural anaesthesia for various procedures. Weight is the strongest predictor of all the factors, with age, weight, height, and SED all having a significant correlation. We devised a prediction equation based on the correlation between variables.
