Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
duration and quality of sensory-motor block in spinal anaesthesia and duration of postoperative analgesiaTimepoint: duration of motor anaesthesia (time taken to reach Bromage 0 from Bromage III after administration of subarachnoid block) and time of first rescue analgesia (the first time patient complains of pain at surgical site after administration of subarachnoid block)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Effect on hemodynamics plus any intraoperative and/or postoperative complications Timepoint: throughout the intraoperative period, at baseline, 0 min, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 mins after administration of subarachnoid block
