Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Duration of sensory block (minutes) measured as the period from intrathecal injection till two dermatome regression.Timepoint: Every 2 minutes for the first 10 minutes and then every 15 minutes till two segment regression | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. The onset of sensory block (minutes) - The onset of sensory block will be defined as the time between injection of intrathecal anaesthetic and the absence of pain at T10 dermatome assessed by pinprick testTimepoint: Time to onset of sensory block;2. Maximum level of sensory blockTimepoint: Time to maximum sensory level;3. Time required to achieve maximum level of sensory block (minutes)Timepoint: Time to maximum sensory level;4. Time required for onset of motor block (minutes) - Time for onset of motor block will be defined as the period from intrathecal injection till the MBS is grade 3.Timepoint: Time to onset of motor block;5. Total duration of motor block (minutes) – It is defined as the period from intrathecal injection till complete motor block recovery (MBS- grade 0).Timepoint: Total duration of motor block | — |
