Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Bupivacaine   1 ml/kg of Bupivacaine 0.25% will be used in both Caudal epidural block and popliteal nerve block 
Intervention  Group A: caudal epidural block  GROUP A:Caudal epidural block: Patient will be turned to lateral position .A short beveled needle of 22G or 23G will be used. After antiseptic dressing and draping sacral cornua and hiatus felt and needle will be inserted at the sacral hiatus at an angle 45 to skin directing cephalad. Caudal epidural space is identified by the loss of resistance once the needle has passed the sacrococcygeal ligament. 1 ml/kg of Bupivacaine 0.25% will be injected after negative aspiration.  
Intervention  Group B: popliteal nerve block   GROUP B: popliteal nerve block: Child in supine position with leg flexed at hip and knee or in lateral position, a triangle is constructed with skin crease behind the knee as base and two sides by the semimembranosus (medially) and the biceps femoris (laterally). A bisecting line is drawn from apex to the base of the triangle. The needle is advanced at a 45 degree angle aiming cephalad just lateral to bisecting line of the triangle until nerve stimulator is elicited. Distance from the base of triangle to needle insertion is estimated based on weight. If the weight is less than 10 kg, than the distance is 1 cm, if the weight is 10-20 kg, than the distance is 2 cm and for each 10 kg increment in weight, needle should move approximately 1 cm cephalad in the triangle

Brief Summary  

This is randomized single blind study, comparing  caudal epidural block and popliteal nerve block for postoperative analgesia in children undergoing foot surgery with1 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine. All study will be conducted in AIIMS, New Delhi, India. primary outcome thats is postoperative pain will be assess by CHEOPS and VAS ; secondary outcome like nausea, vomiting,agitation,sedation,haematoma and parenteral satisfaction will also be assessed upto 24 hours postoperatively.
