Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Scheduled For Elective Caesarean section Under Single Shot Subarachnoid Block

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patient With Factors Known To Affect Sensory Block Level Such As Extremes Of Height ( 6 Feet), Body Mass Index > 30kg/m2, Or Scoliotic/ Kyphotic Deformity Of Vertebral Column On Inspection And Contraindication To IAP Measurement Such As Neurogenic Bladder, Hematuria, Coincidental Abdominal Masses etc Will Be Excluded

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Association between the maximum sensory block level following the spinal block, and the Intraabdominal pressure (IAP) measured prior and after the spinal block. These will be obtained with both the randomized groups i.e., after intrathecal hyperbaric and plain local anaesthetic.Timepoint: Sensory block level: will be measured every 2 minutes till 3 identical observations. IAP: will be measured before and after the spinal block.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
comparision between primary outcome measured with intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine and plain levobupivacaineTimepoint: Sensory block level: will be measured every 2 minutes till 3 identical observations.
