Very Low Dose Caudal Morphine for Postoperative Pain Management
Completed
Conditions studied: Caudal Anesthesia
In brief
This is a chart review. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and side effects of very low dose morphine administered caudally to children that went to surgical procedures that used caudal anesthesia. The study compares caudal block with Bupivacaine (1 ml kg\_1 of bupivacaine 0.25% and saline 0.02 ml kg\_10) with very low dose morphine (a mix of 1 ml kg\_-1 of ropivacaine 0.2% and preservative-free morphine: 10 µg kg-1).
