Background: Longer duration of analgesia, ceiling effect on respiratory depression, and the antihyperalgesia property make buprenorphine a good adjuvant for managing moderate-to-severe postoperative pain.
Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the onset and duration of postoperative analgesia of three different doses of buprenorphine of 60, 100, and 150 μg given intrathecally along with hyperbaric bupivacaine in patients undergoing lower limb surgeries.
Setting And Design: This prospective observational study was carried out in the anesthesia department of a tertiary care hospital.
Background: Caudal epidural block combined with general anesthesia remains a popular choice of anesthesia for both supraumbilical and infraumbilical surgeries. More recently transversus abdominis plane block performed under ultrasound guidance is being described as an effective technique for postoperative analgesia for lower abdominal surgeries. The present study aims to compare the efficacy of ultrasound -guided TAP block and caudal epidural for paediatric infraumbilical surgeries.

With the advent of ultrasound-guided technology, interscalene brachial plexus block with superficial cervical nerve block has become a new option for providing intraoperative anesthesia and postoperative analgesia for surgeries of the clavicle.
Aims And Objectives: The present study compares the ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus nerve block combined with superficial cervical nerve block to general anesthesia in clavicular surgery.
