Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To compare the efficacy and duration of motor block and sensory block between the two drugs. 2.To assess the post operative recovery profile and readiness for discharge in both the groups.Timepoint: 1. Motor block was assessed by Modified Bromage Scale (1-6). Sensory block was assessed by loss of sensation to pin prick. Both the blocks were assessed every 2 minutes till two consecutive readings remained the same, after which it was assessed every 10 minutes till the end of surgery. After the surgery block was assessed half hourly till complete regression of block. 2.Post operatively patients were assessed half hourly by Post Anaesthetic Discharge Scoring System until the score reaches 9. | — |
