Abstract

Background and Aims: The quality of caudal blocks can be improved by adding adjuvants to the local anaesthetic. Adjuvants prolong analgesia and decrease the adverse effects encountered with single high dose local anaesthetic. The objective of this study was to compare caudal nalbuphine and dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine to provide postoperative analgesia in children undergoing infra-umbilical surgeries. Material and Methods: This was a randomised, prospective double blinded study. A total of 60 children aged 1-12 years were randomly allocated into 2 groups: Group A received caudal block with 0.2% ropivacaine 1ml/kg with 0.2mg/kg nalbuphine and Group B received caudal block with 0.2% ropivacaine 1ml/kg with dexmedetomidine 2
