Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The use of increasing doses of clonidine ssociated to bupivacaine in caudal epidural block provides better postoperative analgesia compared whit analgesia provide by bupivacaine alone

It is a randomized, double blind study, involving 80 children with ages from 1 to 10 years old, following eletive hypospadias surgery, under general anesthesia and caudal epidural block . The patients will be divided into 4 groups: bupivacaine alone, bupivacaine plus clonidine 1mcg/kg, bupivacaine plus clonidine 2 mcg/kg, bupivacaine plus clonidine 3 mg/kg. The peroperative consumption of anesthetics gases, heart rate and arterial blood pressure will be recorded. Postoperative pain will be evaluated by using FLACC scale ( faces , legs, activity , cry , consolability ) . Requiriments for supplementary postoperative analgesia at 24 h will be avaiable.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Clonidine 1 mcg/Kg
  • Drug: Clonidine 2 mcg/ Kg
  • Drug: Clonidine 3 mcg/ Kg
