Brief Summary

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

dexmedetomidine is an alpha 2 adrenergic receptor agonist that is given either systemically or combined to local anesthetics during regional blocks. Investigators studied the combination of dexmedetomedine/bupivacaine versus bupivacaine alone for caudal blockage in pediatric patients undergoing supra - umbilical surgeries.

Detailed Description

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

Dexmedetomidine was combined to bupivavaine and administered via caudal route to be compared to caudal bupivavaine alone for analgesia following upper trunk surgery
