Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the total amount of postoperative rescue analgesia (IV fentanyl) requirement during first 24hrs in both the groups.Timepoint: Till 24hrs postoperative period—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare intraoperative IV fentanyl requirement in both the groups 2. To compare the total amount of postoperative rescue analgesia (IV fentanyl) requirement during first 48hrs in both the groups. 3. To compare the time of first rescue analgesia requirement in both the groups 4. To compare the postoperative pain using VAS (visual analog scale) in both the groups 5. To compare the time taken for the procedure in both the groups 6. To compare the number of attempts in both of groups 7. To compare the rate of change of one technique to other technique 8.To compare the rate of complications in both the groups (hypotension/hypertension, bradycardia/ tachycardia, respiratory depression, nausea vomiting, pruritis, dura puncture, pneumothorax).Timepoint: Till 48 hrs postoperative period—
