Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Medical and Surgical,
Registration Number
CTRI/2019/12/022337
Lead Sponsor
Department of Anaesthesiology
Brief Summary

Post operative analgesia in paediatric patients includes using caudal epidural analgesia. Spinal Anaesthesia is used frequently for providing surgical anaesthesia for infra umbilical surgeries.

Combining both the techniques requires care in dosing requirements of local anaesthetic agents, to prevent toxicity.

Keeping this in mind, this trial is planned using two different doses of bupivacaine (0.15% and 0.20%) for caudal epidural along with standard dose for spinal anaesthesia.

First recruitment will start after approval by CTRI.
