Group B children received caudal bupivacaine (0.25%) 1 ml/Kg B/W in 1ml normal saline and Group BD children received same with dexmedetomidine 2 μg/kg B/W in 1ml normal saline after induction . Pulse rate, blood pressure, SPO2 were monitored and recorded at 0min (after administration of caudal anesthesia) and intra-operatively at 15 minutes interval till the end of operation.
