Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.To know if single puncture SOFT block can be used as 2.Alternative to CSE and lumbar plexus and sciatic nerve block for knee and leg surgeries. 3.Outcomes measured will be to study onset of sensory and motor blockade and duration of analgesia with each technique. Timepoint: Level of sensory and motor blockade 2min, 5min, 10min, 20 min after the block

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
.Effect of CSE, Lumbar plexus block and SOFT block on post op analgesia duration by VAS score patient discomfort associated with each technique .To Study first analgesic request time in OT .Motor block regression time To compare time taken to perform the procedures and the time required for onset of sensory and motor blockade. To compare the amount of rescue analgesics required in the first 24 hrs post operatively Timepoint: Pain VAS(visual analogue scale) 1 hr , 2 hr after surgery, amount of rescue analgesics required in 24 hr, motor and sensory level level 1hr , 2hr after surgey
