Brief Summary:
Caudal block is one of the most effective modalities to reduce pain both during and after the surgery involving areas under the umbilicus. According to previous research, 0.5mg/kg-1.5mg/kg dexamethasone is known to enhance the analgesic quality of caudal block in children. Despite the fact that this high dose of dexamethasone is used to treat airway edema in actual practice and no adverse side effect related to dosage has been reported, it is 3 to 15 times higher than the daily antiemetic dose of dexamethasone that is used in standard care of anesthesia. Therefore, our study aims to assess the effect of the more practical, antiemetic dose of dexamethasone (0.15mg/kg) as an adjuvant to enhance the quality of caudal block through a non-inferiority trial.
