Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the effectiveness of adding Dexmedetomidine to Ropivacaine in improving pain management for children undergoing genitourinary infraumbilical surgeries through caudal blocks.
- - Findings reveal that children receiving Ropivacaine with Dexmedetomidine experienced significantly longer pain relief and better overall pain control compared to those receiving Ropivacaine alone.
