Brief Summary   This will be a prospective randomised study conducted to evaluate injection dexmedetomidine 2mcg/kg and inj. tramadol 2mg/kg as an adjuvant with injection ropivacaine 0.75% caudally in paediatric patient who are between 1 to 8yr old 
ASA grade 1 or 2 with exemption of all exclusion criteria mention above and undergoing infraumblical surgeries under caudal analgesia with primary objective of  comparing the duration of analgesia secondary objective being onset and duration  of sensory block and cardiovascular effect, side effect. Participant will be allocated in two group each with 17 sample size. Group RD receiving injection dexmedetomidine and group RT receiving injection Tramadol as an adjuvant with local anaesthetic caudal block in above mention doses. Pre anaesthetic evaluation will be done previous day, necessary pre medication will be given , informed written consent will be taken prior to surgery. All emergency drugs and equipment will kept ready in prior. Under all aseptic precaution respective drug will be given caudally to respective group of patient. Patient will be monitored  intra operative  and post operatively . All the parameter will be recorded at pre described interval and documented, data will  be analyses statically using standard qualitative and quantitative test. Continuous variable will be analyse using student pair test and categorical variable will be analysed using chi-square test. P value is less than 0.5 will be consider significant.
