Popis: Purpose: To investigate the implication of dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulphate addition to bupivacaine in caudal anesthesia in paediatric lower abdominal surgeries. Study design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Paediatric University Hospital. Subjects: 120 children undergoing surgeries in the lower half of the body under general anaesthesia with a supplementary caudal block using 1 ml/kg bupivacaine 0.25%. Methods: Participants were randomly allocated into four groups; group C (saline as an additive to bupivacaine), group MG (50 mg magnesium sulphate added to bupivacaine), group D (1 µg/kg dexmedetomidine added to bupivacaine), and group MGD (the same doses of both dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulphate were added to bupivacaine). Time to first analgesia request (1ry outcome), and pain assessment by The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) score just after recovery, then every 30 min in the early two hours, then at the 4th, 6th, 12th,18th, and 24th hours were compared between the groups. Results: Time to first analgesia request was significantly longer in the three study groups compared to group C with p
