Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To study the sensory and motor block of intrathecal ropivacaine with or without the addition of tramadol. 2. To compare the time to achieve maximum sensory and motor block. Timepoint: 2,4,6,8,10,15,20,25,30,45,60,75,90,105,120,135,150,165,180,195,210,225,240,255,270 minutes after giving the subarachnoid block | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the duration of sensory block. To compare the degree of sedation in the two groups. To compare the side effects like nausea, vomiting, hypotension, shivering, pruritus in the two groups. Timepoint: 0,2,6,8,10,15,20,25,30,45,60,75,90,105,120,135,150,165,180,195,210,225,240,265,270 minutes after giving the spinal anaesthesia | — |
