Clinical Trial Summary

Because pain is difficult to measure in children, post-operative pain is frequently undertreated in this age range. Pain treatment is required in children due to the high emotional component of pain. Pain is a multidimensional, subjective, perceptual event having a variety of qualities such as intensity, quality, time course, and effects that are perceived differently by each person. Because the operational definition of pain necessitates self-report, pain experienced by children and babies is frequently overlooked, if not ignored. When general anesthesia is paired with regional procedures, children of all ages are exposed to less intravenous and inhalational anesthetics and analgesics, leaving them nearly free of nausea, vomiting, itching, or unneeded drowsiness. Being completely awake and able to drink soon after surgery, as well as having no issues breathing even after lengthy surgery, are significant benefits that children and parents value.


Clinical Trial Description

Caudal block provides the potential benefit of extending the length and effectiveness of the block by combining additional medications with the local anaesthetic agent. Morphine, clonidine, ketamine, and midazolam were among the drugs used. Although peripheral nerve blocks and caudal anesthesia are relatively safe, extreme attention is required to minimize adverse consequences. Pediatric anesthesiologists must have adequate training to ensure patient safety. A well-trained pediatric anesthesiologist will try to avoid unsafe regional anesthetic application methods and will always be prepared to manage dangerous side effects (overdoses, intravenous administration induced seizures, tip displacement of epidural catheters or centrally located abscesses). Ketamine is a non-competitive N-methyl D-aspartate NMDA receptor antagonist that is thought to prevent or reverse central sensitization and, as a result, lessen postoperative pain. It also has a peripheral analgesic effect. Ketamine infiltration has been demonstrated to provide pain alleviation in children having adenotonsillectomy for up to 24 hours following surgery with no adverse effects. ;
