RandomizedFactorialDouble-blindTreatment
Summary
Various methods are used to control post-operative pain among children. Amongst these methods, caudal block is one of the most favoured, prominent and dependable methods for providing reliable analgesia in surgeries below umbilicus. This study is to compare two doses of Dexmedetomidine added as adjunct to local anaesthesia using reduced dose in caudal block for prolonging the duration of analgesia.
