Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.Incidence of failed subarachnoid block 2.Time of onset of sensory and motor blockade after subarachnoid block 3.Peaks of sensory and motor block, assessed by pin prick method and modified Bromage method respectively. 4.Study of voltage gated sodium channels to see for mutations. Timepoint: For Primary Outcome No:- 1,2,3 Baseline, 2 minutes, 4 minutes, 6 minutes, 8 minutes, 10 minutes,12 minutes,14 minutes, 16 minutes, 18 minutes and 20 minutes. 2.Batch testing of 10 blood samples for Genotyping of Voltage-gated sodium channels gene would be done.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Time needed for onset of adequate sensory and motor blockade after subarachnoid block 2.Association of mutations in sodium channel with failed subarachnoid block. Timepoint: For secondary outcomes no:- 1. baseline, 2 min, 4 min, 6 min, 8 min, 10 min, 12 min, 16 min, 18 min, 20 minutes after spinal anesthesia 2. 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, 12 month, 15 month, 18 month, 24 months from start of the study
