Brief Summary   INTRODUCTION: Caudal epidural blockade in children is one of the most widely administered techniques of regional anaesthesia. Ropivacaine is a long acting amide local anaesthetic, acts via reversible inhibition of sodium ions influx in nerve fibers and produce effects similar to other local anaesthetics. Adding Nalbuphine to epidural analgesic agents, provides an increase in the efficacy and the duration of postoperative analgesia. Combined epidural magnesium sulfate administration significantly reduces postoperative analgesic requirements.
 Aims and Objectives – To evaluate analgesic efficacy of nalbuphine and magnesium sulphate as an adjuvant to ropivacaine in paediatric caudal block.
Materials and Methods- The study will be conducted in department of Anaesthesiology, GGSMCH, Faridkot.
Inclusion Criteria – Age group 1-10yrs, ASA (American Society of Anaesthesiologists) grade I &II.
 Patients will be divided in 3 study groups of 30 patients each. Group A: Will receive 1ml/kg of 0.2% Ropivacaine and 1ml normal saline. 
Group B: Will receive 1ml/kg of 0.2% Ropivacaine with 0.1 mg/kg Nalbuphine in 1ml normal saline.
Group C: Will receive 1ml/kg of 0.2% Ropivacaine with 50 mg Magnesium sulphate in 1ml normal saline. 

Surgery will be done under general anaesthesia . 
Duration of postoperative analgesia and total analgesia postoperatively in first 24hrs will be noted and compared. 
After completion of study, observations obtained will be tabulated and analysed using appropriate statistical methods. P value < 0.05 will be taken as significant and < 0.001 will be taken as highly significant.
