Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Non-Opioid Anesthesia Technique  After the baby is shifted to warm operation theatre non-invasive monitoring including electrocardiography, non-invasive blood pressure and pulse oximetry will be established. The baby will be preoxygenated. For group NO(Non-Opioid), after induction with inj. Thiopentone and sevoflurane, patient will be intubated. Inj. Acetaminophen will be given iv as 7.5 mg/kg body weight. Caudal block with 0.25% bupivacaine 1ml/kg with upper limit of 2mg/kg will be given. General anaesthesia will be maintained with oxygen, sevoflurane and atracurium. At the end of surgery, neuromuscular reversal agents (Neostigmine 50 microgram per kg body weight and Glycopyrrolate 10 micrograms per kg body weight). The extubation time is measured as the time taken from last skin suture to the tracheal tube removal and return of protective airway reflexes. Vital parameters will be strictly monitored during the procedure. In the post-operative period, the patient’s pain score will be checked and recorded as per NIPS scale at 5th minute and later every 15 minutes for the first 1 hour, every 30 mins for next 2 hours and thenhourly till total of six hours after extubation. 
Intervention  Opioid Anesthesia Technique  After the baby is shifted to warm operation theatre non-invasive monitoring including electrocardiography, non-invasive blood pressure and pulse oximetry will be established. The baby will be preoxygenated. In Group O, inj. Fentanyl at 1mcg/kg iv loading dose will be given. Induction of general anaesthesia will be with inj. Thiopentone (5mg/kg body weight) and sevoflurane(inhalation). Under direct laryngoscopy, endotracheal tube of appropriate size will be inserted and fixed at angle of mouth according to the precalculated depth. Placement will be confirmed by auscultation. General anaesthesia will be maintained on oxygen, sevoflurane and inj. Atracurium(0.3mg/kg). Intermittent bolus of inj. Fentanyl at 0.25 mcg/kg will begiven as deemed necessary. At the end of surgery, neuromuscular reversal agents (Neostigmine 50 microgram per kg body weight and Glycopyrrolate 10 micrograms per kg body weight). The extubation time is measured as the time taken from last skin suture to the tracheal tube removal and return of protective airway reflexes. Vital parameters will be strictly monitored during the procedure. In the post-operative period, the patient’s pain score will be checked and recorded as per NIPS scale at 5th minute and later every 15 minutes for the first 1 hour, every 30 mins for next 2 hours and thenhourly till total of six hours after extubation.

Response - NO
Brief Summary  
Neonates, being a high-risk population often need post-operative mechanical
ventilation, which leads to higher mortality and stress on resources in developing countries
like India with limited neonatal intensive care unit and ventilator facilities, inadequate
resources and a lack of trained medical personnel. This prompts us to explore
methods to minimize the intraoperative anaesthetic exposure and opioid techniques to
aid early extubation which accelerate recovery, shorten length of hospital stay and decrease
the medical expense.

There is a paucity of literature regarding this study between opioid versus non opioid
anaesthesia techniques when used in conjunction with general anaesthesia in terms of time
required to extubate the neonate and measurement of pain in the post operative period.
Hence, we are conducting an observational study in which one group would be provided
analgesia via caudal route and the other group via iv opioid and then the time required for
extubation would be measured.
