What is Caudal Neostigmine for Postoperative Analgesia in Paediatric Surgery about?

## Summary __Background__: This study was conducted to evaluate analgesia and side‐effects of caudal neostigmine coadministered with bupivacaine in paediatric surgery. __Methods__: We studied children, aged 1–5 years, undergoing elective surgery (inguinal hernia and hypospadias). After standard induction of anaesthesia, caudal anaesthesia was performed. Group 1 received 0.25% bupivacaine 0.5 ml·kg^−1^ and Group 2 received 0.25% bupivacaine 0.5 ml·kg^−1^ with 1 μg·kg^−1^ neostigmine via the caudal route. Heart rate, mean arterial pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation were recorded before induction, after induction but before caudal anaesthesia, and then every 5 min after caudal anaesthesia. Haemodynamic, Toddler, Preschooler, Postoperative Pain Scale (TPPPS) pain score and sedation score values were recorded 30 min after extubation and at hours 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24. A pain score >3/10 resulted in administration of rectal paracetamol. The duration of postoperative analgesia was defined as the time between caudal drug injection and the first rectal paracetamol administration. __Results__: There were no differences between the groups in demographic and haemodynamic date, duration of sur
