Abstract
Caudal anaesthesia is a useful adjunct to general anaesthesia for infra umbilical surgeries in children as it provides post-operative analgesia and reduces pen operative narcotic requirements There is prolongation o. f duration of analgesia by mean duration of 318.20±24.49 minutes with addition Fentanyl to Bupivacaine. When comparing the efficacy of two differential drugs fentanyl I µg/kg and midazolam 5 0µg/kg in combination with Bupivacaine 0.2 5%, lml/kg. Duration of analgesia was found significantly more in group using Fentanyl with mean duration of 318.20 ± 24.49 minutes compared to Midazolam with mean duration of 247.25 ±12.19 minutes.
Highlights
Acute pain management in the pediatric patients is a great challenge to the anesthesiologist, especially in children undergoing umblical surgeries [1-6]
Various techniques have been devised to prolong the duration of postoperative analgesia [7 and 8]
The statistical evaluation proves that Fentanyl has significant effect when compared to Midazolam (Table 2)
