Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the efficacy of ropivacaine with clonidine or dexamethasone as adjuvants for caudal epidural block in paediatric infraumbilical surgeries.  To evaluate duration of analgesia (defined as time from caudal injection until the first requirement of rescue analgesia, pain assessed by FLACC).

Brief Summary  

Caudal block is common regional technique used to provide postoperative pain in paediatric patients, many adjuvants are used with local anaesthetics to increase duration of analgesia to minimise the side effect of toxicity of local anaesthetic. In our study we compare analgesic efficacy of caudal Dexamethasone or Clonidine as adjuvants with ropivacaine.
