Analgesic efficacy of caudal dexamethasone combined with ropivacaine in children undergoing orchiopexy.
BACKGROUND Epidural administration of dexamethasone might reduce postoperative pain in adults. We evaluated whether a caudal block of 0.1 mg kg(-1) dexamethasone combined with ropivacaine improves analgesic efficacy in children undergoing day-case orchiopexy. METHODS This randomized, double-blind study included 80 children aged 6 months to 5 yr who underwent day-case, unilateral orchiopexy. P...
متن کاملComparison of Ropivacaine Alone versus Ropivacaine with Dexamethasone in Caudal Block for Pediatric Post-operative Analgesia
Background: Caudal block is a regional anesthesia technique most commonly used for post-operative analgesia in children undergoing infraumbilical surgeries. The local anesthetics used in caudal block have the shortcoming of less duration of action which can be increased by adding adjuncts. The aim of our study was to compare the duration of post-operative analgesia when 0.2% ropivacaine versus ...
متن کاملCaudal Bbck in Children Ropivacaine Compared with Bupivaca ine
Background: Bupivacaine provides reliable, long-lasting anesthesia and analgesia when given via the caudal route. Ropivacaine is a newer, long-acting local anesthetic that (at a concentration providing similar pain relief) has less motor nerve blockade and may have less cardiotoxicity than bupivacaine. Methods: In a double-blind trial, 81 healthy children, undergoing ambulatory surgical procedu...
متن کاملEffect of dexamethasone in combination with caudal analgesia on postoperative pain control in day-case paediatric orchiopexy.
BACKGROUND Dexamethasone has a powerful anti-inflammatory action and has demonstrated reduced morbidity after surgery. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a single i.v. dose of dexamethasone in combination with caudal block on postoperative analgesia in children. METHODS Seventy-seven children (aged 1-5 yr) undergoing day-case orchiopexy were included in this prospective, rand...
متن کاملComparison of analgesic efficacy of caudal dexmedetomidine versus caudal tramadol with ropivacaine in paediatric infraumbilical surgeries: A prospective, randomised, double-blinded clinical study
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Caudal epidural analgesia is commonly practised regional block technique in children undergoing infraumbilical surgeries but has a short duration of action after single shot local anaesthetic injection. The aim of this study was to compare ropivacaine 0.25% with dexmedetomidine and tramadol in caudal anaesthesia in paediatric infraumbilical surgeries. METHODS In a randomis...
