Aer inducon of general anaesthesia Caudal block was performed. Paents were observed in postoperave ward for relief of pain, sedaon, hemodynamic and any adverse effects or complicaons. Results: All the paents exhibited stable hemodynamics. There was good intraoperave and postoperave analgesia. No paent required intraoperave rescue analgesic. Adverse effects like respiratory depression, voming, bradycardia, hypotension, residual motor blockade, pruritus were stascally insignificant.
