clonidine: Association of Different Doses of Clonidine in Caudal Epidural Anesthesia for Hypospadias Surgery
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.
