Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Effect of intravenous Dexamethasone on addition to caudal block is compared with just caudal block n paediatric patient.  Two groups are being compared with and without dexamethasone being added to caudal block. 
Intervention  Intravenous Dexamethasone given to patient along with caudal block  A total of 30 pediatric patients will be given i.v. Dexamethasone in a dose of 0.2 mg/kg in 5 ml normal saline along with caudal block with 0.75 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine in one group And other group of patient will not be given dexamethasone . Only bupivacaine will be given in 0.75 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine Frequency -once for a patient . Dose will not be repeated . Duration of therapy-only once at the beginning of surgery, drug will be given .
