Abstract
This study was carried out at Government Rajaji hospital, Madurai, in 60 children between one to six years of age with ASA physical status I grading, the procedure underwent by children were infraumblical surgeries. They were divided into the two groups of thirty each group. Group RC (1ml/ kg of 0.25% ropivacaine and 1μg/ kg clonidine), Group RD (1ml/kg of 0.25% ropivacaine and 1 μg/ kg dexmedetomidine) as above. All children were given general anaesthesia and maintained with sevoflurane 0.6% and 60% N₂O in 40% O₂ and atracurium. This study showed that, 1. Dexmedetomidine when added with caudal ropivacaine provided longer duration of analgesia than Clonidine with ropivacaine. 2. Patient comfortability in terms of sedation and duration of analgesia was better in dexmedetomidine group than clonidine group. 3. Cardiovascular stability was similar in both the groups. 4. There were no significant complications in both groups. CONCLUSION: From this study it is concluded that dexmeditomedine added to ropivacaine in caudal anaesthesia appears to provide efficious pain relief and comfortability for longer duration than clonidine added to ropivacaine in children undergoing infraumblical surgeries without any significant side effects.
