The effect of caudal levobupivacaine and morphine combination in pediatric lower extremity orthopedic surgery

Abstract

Introduction: In this study, we evaluated the peroperative and postoperative effects of caudal levobupivacaine and IV or caudal morphine retrospectively. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the records of healthy 40 children aged between 2-12 years, who had osteotomy for lower extremity under general anesthesia and caudal blockade. The solution injected was 0.5ml.kg1 volume of 0.25% levobupivacaine including 20µg.kg-1morphine (Group I) or only 0.25% levobupivacaine with IV morphine added at a dose of 0.1 mg.kg-1 (Group II). We compared the groups in terms of peroperative hemodynamic changes and postoperative analgesia. Results: No significant differences were found in terms of age, height, weight and duration of surgery. We did not observed any peroperative or postoperative hemodynamic changes needing intervention for any patients (p>0.05). The mean time to the first analgesic need was 644±160 min. for Group I and 542.3±98 min. for Group II (p
