COMPARATIVE CLINICAL STUDY OF CAUDAL EPIDURAL BLOCK WITH ROPIVACAINE PLAIN AND ROPIVACAINE WITHCLONIDINE FOR BELOW UMBLICAL SURGERIES IN PAEDIATRIC PATIENTS

Dr Mohan Nema, Dr. S. K. Raikwar

Abstract :

Introduction: Caudal epidural block is one of most popular & commonly performed regional blocks in pediatric population undergoing short surgical procedures below umbilicus. Adding adjuvant to local anaesthetics for caudal block enhance duration and quality of analgesia as well as decrease post operative analgesia. Aims And Objectives: purpose of this study is to compare the effect of plain ropivaicaine and ropivaicaine with clonidine in caudal block with respect to duration and quality of anesthesia. Methods: Eighty ASA physical status I-II patients of age group between 6 to 12 years with Below umbilical surgery under caudal epidural block were randomly allocated into two equal groups in a randomized double blind fashion. .Group R received Ropivacaine 0.2% 1ml/kg while group RC received Ropivacaine 0.2% 1ml/kg with Clonidine 1µg/kg. duration of intraoperative and post operative analgesia, quality of anaesthesia were assessed. Results: The quality of relaxation and duration of analgesia was significantly less in group R as compared to group RC (P < 0.05). but there was no statistically significant difference between both the groups with respect to the heart rate, mean arterial pressure, type of surgeries, level of caudal of block. Conclusions: Addition of Clonidine with Ropivaicaine in caudal block increase the duration of analgesia as well as quality of relaxation without any significant adverse effects.
