Study on the hemodynamic changes observed with the adjuvant 8mg Dexamethasone with 20 ml of 0.2% ropivacaine in USG guided caudal analgesia for patients undergoing elective spine surgeries

Abstract

Background: Pain after lumbosacral spine surgeries is due to activation of various pain mechanisms like inflammatory, nociceptive and neuropathic. Also, by handling structures like vertebrae, intervertebral disc, dura and nerve root sleeves, facet joint capsules, muscles, fascia and ligaments. Several studies have shown that caudal epidural injections are relatively safe, simple, and effective in relieving postoperative pain. Regional blockade can be prolonged by adding different adjuvants.
