Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the onset and duration of Sensory and Motor blockade using Dexmedetomidine 0.1ml (10mcg) as adjuvant to 0.5% Isobaric Ropivacaine and 0.5% Isobaric Levobupivacaine in patients undergoing Urological Surgeries under Subarachnoid BlockTimepoint: to the point of complete resolution of the sensory block, when the patient requests analgesia for post-operative pain VAS more than 3 and till the time when the patient sums the ability to flex the knees Grade 0 using Modified Bromage scale within 24 hours post operatively

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare hemodynamics between these two groupsTimepoint: till patient complains pain vas score of more than 3 within 24 hours post operatively
