Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Duration of analgesia   Post-operative analgesia will be monitored through The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) pain score immediately with recovery, and every 30 min until the 2nd hour, then at the 4th, 6th, 12th,18th, and 24th hours 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. Hemodynamic parameters(Heart rate (HR), Systolic BP(SBP), Diastolic BP(DBP) , Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), SpO2, Respiratory rate(RR) )
2. Onset of analgesia
3. Residual motor block
4. Sedation score
5.To study the adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, bradycardia ,hypotension, respiratory depression
 

Hemodynamic parameters will be monitored at 0, 15 and 30 min following caudal block, and at the end of surgery and Postoperatively every 30 min for first two hours, at 4,6,12,18 and 24th hour.
Post-operative analgesia, sedation and Residual motor blockade will be monitored immediately with recovery, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 12th, 18th, and 24th hours postoperatively.
Adverse effects monitored and managed for 24 hrs.
