Analgesic Efficacy of Adjuvant Medications in the Pediatric Caudal Block for Infraumbilical Surgery: A Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Abstract:Various adjuvants are added to local anesthetics in caudal block to improve analgesia. The comparative analgesic effectiveness and relative rankings of these adjuvants are unknown. This network meta-analysis (NMA) sought to evaluate the comparative analgesic efficacy and relative ranking of caudal adjuvants added to local anesthetics (versus local anesthetics alone) in pediatric infraumbilical surgery. We searched the United States National Library of Medicine database (MEDLINE), PubMed, and Excerpta Medica da… Show more
