Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine the which method of pain relief is better after current anesthesia care.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We hypothesized that in children, the current anesthesia care (combined light general anesthesia and caudal analgesia) may decrease incidence of intra and or postoperative de-saturation( SaO2 \< %95), the need of oxygen during child's transport to the PACU and during his stay in the recovery room, compared with children who receive intravenous narcotics for intra and postoperative pain relief.
