Study aim
-
Investigation of hemodynamic changes between general anesthesia and caudal anesthesia in children.
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with intervention and control groups, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, sample of 40 patients. Randlist software was used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
All children who are candidates for lower abdominal surgery at Tabriz pediatric hospital will be included in this study.Patients are randomly assigned to two intervention and control groups. Lidocaine, propofol, and ropivacaine will be used in the intervention group, and only lidocaine and propofol will be used in the control group to compare the hemodynamics effects in these patients.In this study, the patient and anesthesia nurse and one of the anesthesiologist are blinded to the study.

Intervention groups
-
Intervention group:In this group, the patient was anesthetized with 1 mg / kg lidocaine and 3.5 to 4.5 mg / kg propofol and after induction of anesthesia,before the start of surgery,caudal anesthesia with 0.2% rupivacaine, 1 micro-gram per kilogram will be performed.
Control group:In this group, anesthesia will be inducted with 1 mg / kg lidocaine and 3.5 to 4.5 mg / kg propofol.
