For the patients undergoing TURP (A laproscopic surgery for reducing the size the prostate) for which spinal anaesthesia is given. We are giving ephedrine (a vasopressor) which will reduce the incidence of decrease in blood pressure which is the side effects of spinal anaesthesia.

To evaluate the effect of ephedrine in preventing hemodynamic derangements in patients undergoing TURP under spinal anaesthesia: A randomised controlled study.

MeasureTime frame
The effect of ephedrine in preventing hemodynamic derangements in patients undergoing TURP under spinal anaesthesia that whether its helps in preventing the fall in blood pressure, bradycardia etc. intaoperatively .

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Additional use of any vasopressor (mephentramine) and anticholinergic (atropine). And incidence of other side effects of ephedrine are noticed.Timepoint: 1-2 hours after the surgery
