Brief Summary

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

In this study we introduce a potent local anesthetic; bupivacaine 0.5% in 0.5 mg/kg dose by nebulization as a preemptive analgesia to compare efficacy and safety in children with cleft palate repair.

Detailed Description

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

A written informed consent will be taken from the guardian of children. Patients will be assigned randomly to two groups (30 subjects each) to be anesthetized. The study drug will be delivered in opaque bags labeled "study drug" and 60 patients will be allocated in two groups (of 30 patients each) to receive; Nebulized plain Bupivacaine 0.50% 0.50 mg.kg-1 (Group B) or same volume of saline placebo (Group C).
