Looking out for the effect of epidural space volume extension by normal saline on the characteristics of subarachnoid blockade by low dose high density bupivacaine, a local anaesthetic drug, for patients undergoing infraumbilical surgeries.

Evaluation of the effect of epidural volume extension on characteristics of subarachnoid blockade with low dose of hyperbaric bupivacaine for infraumbilical surgeries. A one year Randomized Clinical Trial.

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients belonging to ASA 1 and ASA 2,undergoing elective infraumbilical surgeries under spinal anaesthesia. Provides Consent and height between 150-170 cms.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients who are unable to give consent and refusing regional anesthesia. Patients with major hepatic, renal or cardiovascular system dysfunction, known allergy to local anaesthetic and those who are hemodynamically unstable. In whom spinal and local anaesthesia is contraindicated. Patients belonging to ASA 3 or more.

Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Comparison of the intraoperative hemodynamic parameters (SBP, DBP, MAP, HR) between Group A (patients undergoing elective infraumbilical surgeries under spinal anaesthesia) and Group B (patients in whom epidural volume extension is given along with spinal block)Timepoint: Hemodynamic parameters are measured for every 5 minutes for the first hourand then every 15 minutes to end of surgery.—

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the onset and duration of sensory blockade, maximum level of sensory block achieved and onset and duration of motor blockade.Timepoint: Immediately after administering subarachnoid blockade.—
