Interventions

Intervention1: Conventional surface landmark-guided paramedian: Spinal anesthesia will be performed using the paramedian approach with the needle inserted at an angle of 10Â° to 15Â°, off the sagittal

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria: 1.Geriatric patients above the age of 60 years. 2.Undergoing surgery under spinal anesthesia.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Uncooperative Patients,Patients contraindicated to subarachnoid block.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The efficacy of the procedure will be assessed by studying the number of insertions and redirection attempts required for succesful dural puncture and total time taken to perform the procedure. Timepoint: From the start of indentification of landmark till the demonstration of clear back flow of cerebrospinal fluid from the needle.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Patient satisfaction will be evaluated by noting procedure associated discomfort as assessed by the patient.Timepoint: From the start of spinal anesthesia procedure till successful subarachnoid block is achieved.	—
