Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim: To compare the onset of anaesthesia, duration of motor block and postoperative analgesia among caudally administered 0.375% Ropivacaine and 0.375% Bupivacaine in paediatric patients undergoing circumcision Methodology: In this observational study consecutive subjects getting either of two interventions may be recruited till the sample size is attained 74 paediatric patients planned for circumcision with ASA I allocated in two different groups, to receive either 0.375% Ropivacaine or 0.375%Bupivacaine. Onset of action and return of motor movements assessed based on Bromage scale. Mean duration of onset of anesthesia, duration of motor blockade and postoperative analgesia among two groups are compared using t-test. Results: Both the groups were comparable regarding age, weight onset of action and postoperative analgesia but significant was noted in return of motor movements in both groups. Conclusion: Motor function recovery is much faster in Ropivacaine group making it a better choice in paediatric day care surgery compared to Bupivacaine.
