Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Receive inj Levobupivacaine 0.25% as bolus followed by inj Levobuoivacaine 0.1% as infusion   levobupivacaine 0.25% will be used as a bolus dose Pharmacological Profile 1. *Levobupivacaine*: A long-acting local anesthetic, S-enantiomer of bupivacaine. 2. *0.25% concentration*: A relatively low concentration, suitable for pediatric patients or for procedures requiring mild to moderate analgesia. Bolus Dose in Continuous Caudal Epidural 1. *Initial bolus dose*: Typically 0.5-1 mL/kg of 0.25% levobupivacaine. 2. *Continuous infusion*: Followed by a continuous infusion of 0.1-0.2 mL/kg/h of 0.1% levobupivacaine. Safety Profile Levobupivacaine has a lower risk of systemic toxicity compared to bupivacaine  
Comparator Agent  Receive Inj. Ropivacaine 0.25% as bolus followed by ini Ropivacaine 0.1% as infusion  Ropivacaine 0.25% as a bolus dose Pharmacological Profile 1. *Ropivacaine*: A long-acting local anesthetic, less lipophilic than bupivacaine. 2. *0.25% concentration*: A relatively low concentration, suitable for pediatric patients or for procedures requiring mild to moderate analgesia. Bolus Dose in Continuous Caudal Epidural 1. *Initial bolus dose*: Typically 0.5-1 mL/kg of 0.25% ropivacaine. 2. *Continuous infusion*: Followed by a continuous infusion of 0.1-0.2 mL/kg/h of 0.25% ropivacaine. Safety Profile Ropivacaine has a lower risk of systemic toxicity compared to bupivacaine. Pediatric Considerations 1. *Dosing*: Pediatric dosing typically starts at 0.5 mL/kg of 0.25% ropivacaine.

Brief Summary  
Caudal Epidural Anaesthesia will be administered under sedation with Ketamine or Midazolam in standard dose as per requirement of surgery. The patient will be positioned in the left lateral and under full aseptic precautions; a sterile 22 gauge needle will be introduced in the caudal epidural space. After confirming the position of the needle with Loss of resistance technique the allocated drug will be given slowly over 60sec. Epidural Catheter will be inserted and secured in caudal space. Intraoperatively bolus dose of levobupivacaine or ropivacaine will be administered. After 15 minutes infusion will be started. Then, the patient will be turned to supine position; anesthesia will be maintained with Midazolam/Ketamine and oxygen will be connected.
