Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare quality of analgesia b/w two groups by adding dexamethasone to 0.5% ropivacaine than using 0.5%ropivacaine plain for popliteal sciatic nerve block in children undergoing foot and ankle surgeries using VAS score(6-12years) OPS score(0-6yrs)at rest and movement Requirement of additional analgesia over 24hrsTimepoint: Every 1hourly—

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare duration of analgesia by addition of dexamethasone to 0.5%ropivacaine to using 0.5%ropivacaine plain alone for popliteal sciatic nerve block in children undergoing foot and ankle surgeries as assessed by time to first rescue analgesic requirement Timepoint: at baseline,24hrs.—
