Abstract
Aims : To study the effect of combination of intravenous Dexamethasone and caudal Ropivacaine on duration of post-operative analgesia, perioperative hemodynamic parameters and complications. Methods: 50 patients of ASA I & II scheduled for infraumbilical surgery were included in double blind randomized comparison of 25 patients in each group. Group A patients were given Inj. Ropivacaine (1ml/kg of 0.2% concentration) in caudal block with i.v. Dexamethasone (0.5 mg/ kg) and group B patients were given Inj. Ropivacaine (1ml/kg of 0.2% concentration) in caudal block with i.v. saline (0.125 ml/ kg). We recorded duration of post-operative analgesia, hemodynamic changes and side effects in both groups. Results: Mean duration of Post-operative analgesia is more in group A (602.6 ± 21.0 mins) compared to group B (411.4 ± 15.5 mins). And mean FLACC score at 8 hours was lower in group A as compared to group B. Conclusion: Intravenous Dexamethasone with caudal Ropivacaine significantly prolongs the duration of post-operative analgesia without significant sedation
