However, increasing the dosage of ropivacaine has not been found to prolong the action significantly while complications will be serious.\n\nKetamine as an additive to caudal administration had been shown to prolong the duration of postoperative analgesia, while the analgesic effectiveness of S-ketamine, the S(+)-enantiomer of ketamine with less possibility to induce psychomotor disturbances, is not clear.
