Popis: Background & Method: The aim of the study is to compare the sensory and motor blockade produced by caudal Bupivacaine and Ropivacaine in pediatric patients. Patients were randomly allocated to 1 of the 2 groups (n = 25) by using a random number table, to receive caudal block with either Inj Bupivacaine (0.25%) 1ml/kg (Group I) or Inj. Ropivacaine (0.25%) 1ml/kg (Group II). Result: The mean age distribution in Group Bupivacaine and Group Ropivacaine were almost the same without any significant difference. Heart rate and systolic arterial pressures measured at specific time intervals showed no significant difference. Conclusion: Present study was designed to compare the effect of bupivacaine versus ropivacaine used in caudal block in pediatric patients, in a prospective randomized controlled study. Mean motor score at different time intervals postoperatively was more for ropivacaine group but Heart rate and systolic arterial pressures measured at specific time intervals were similar.
