Abstract :

AIM: To study the efficacy and safety of ropivacaine for caudal analgesia for lower abdominal, urogenital and perineal surgeries by compå it with bupivacaine. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective, randomized study was done over a period of 18 months among paediatric population of 2–8 years posted for various surgeries in lower abdominal, urogenital and perineal surgeries at the Department of Anaesthesiology in R.C.S.M. Govt. Medical College &CPR hospital, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, during the period from December 2014 to May 2016 after approval from the ethics committee and written informed consent from the parents/ guardians. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in demographic and hemodyanamic data. The hemodynamic parameters heart rate and mean blood pressure were comparable in both the groups, with P value of (0.290) and (0.249) respectively, and found not significant. Post operative analgesia in both the groups also not significant with P value of (0.222) CONCLUSION : we conclude that Ropivacaine in comparison with Bupivacaine is equal in terms of efficacy and safety and provides equal quality of analgesia and maintains haemodynamic stability.
