A comparison of dexamethasone and clonidine as an adjuvant for caudal blocks in pediatric urogenital surgeries

Abstract

Our study shows that caudal dexamethasone is a good alternative to clonidine with more stable hemodynamics and lesser sedation scores in the immediate postoperative period. Both the drugs offer good analgesia postoperatively with the duration of analgesia more in clonidine.
