Background: The techniques advance in the use of regional anesthesia is a motivation to perform local studies that compare the use of ultrasound guidance and anatomical landmarks. Objective: To compare the benefits of caudal block in patients from 3 to 7 years old who had been subjected surgery in the lower hemi body, both with ultrasound-guided caudal block or with anatomical landmarks. Methodology: Observational and descriptive cross-sectional study, 124 children between 3 and 7 years old, subjected to surgery in whom a caudal block was used to alleviate postoperative pain; After intubation or before awakening, a caudal block was performed guided by ultrasound or by anatomical landmarks. The time used for each technique was measured, and in the postoperative period it was observed: vital signs, additional analgesia, the Wong Baker's Faces scale was also applied to determine the benefits of each technique. Results: The mean age was 4.91 years. In 80.6% of the cases were male and 77.4% presenting normal weight. 55.6% of the population belonged to blockage due to anatomical repairs and 44.4% due to ultrasound guidance. Comparing the results of the 2 groups, there were found statistically significant differences, in the variation of the heart rate in favor of the group that uses ultrasound as a guide and in the duration of the procedure in favor of the group that uses anatomical repairs (less time). Conclusions: the ultrasound-guided technique has better results in terms of analgesia than the anatomical landmarks.

OBJECTIVE: Because there is no a diagnose instrument adapt to our society to detect stress in teenagers he have decided to create and validate a test, with the object to have and implement to notice stress in teenagers METHOD: : Quantitative, observational and descriptive research, test “JJ S3” was created, its internal reliability was reviewed by judges, the study was applied to 419 teenagers that were casually chosen from high schools across the city of Cuenca, in the year 2013. In order to measure its internal reliability, this test was evaluated using the statistical analysis Alfa de Cronbach and for measuring the external reliability, it was checked using the Retest examination. RESULTS: Of the total sample (419 students) 200 (47.7%) presented moderate stress. The test is reliable because the internal consistency (Alfa de Crombach) for the complete instrument was 0,924 and research factors were; social factors were 0,720; schools factors were 0,827; family factors were 0,866 and biological factors were 0,858. CONCLUSIONS: The test “JJ S3” offers a high internal consistency, with an Alfa de Cronbach of 0,924; therefore the test is a trustworthy option for detecting stress levels among teens; offering a good internal consistency, although there is a weak point in social factors. KEY WORDS: STRESS IN ADOLESCENTS, ALFA DE CRONBACH, INTERNAL RELIABILITY AND EXTERNAL RELIABILITY.
