Summary

This study looks at whether adding dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) can provide longer and better pain relief for children after open appendix surgery. About 60 children will receive a caudal block (an injection near the tailbone) with either the combo or bupivacaine alone. The goal is to see if the combo delays the need for extra pain medicine and improves recovery.
