Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
level of pain relief by (VAS score) before positioning for spinal anaesthesia ( baseline,at 1,2,3,4,5,10and 15 minutes) between the two groups. intraoperative hemodynamics ( Heart rate, Mean arterial pressure at 5,10 and 15 minutes) between the two groups.Timepoint: March 15,2019 to December 15,2019	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the duration of pain relief postoperatively (rescue analgesia) by VAS score at 2,4,8,12,16,20 and 24 hrs between the two groups. To compare the total analgesic requirement in the next 24 hours between the two groups. Timepoint: March 15, 2019 to December 15, 2019	—
