Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the efficacy in terms of duration of sensory block,onset of motor and sensory blocks.Timepoint: 1. The onset of sensory block will be assessed from the cessation of drug administration to Grade 2 level blockade. 2. The onset of motor block will be assessed from the cessation of drug administration from the cessation of drug administration to Grade 3 level blockade 3. The duration of sensory block shall be taken from the time of onset of sensory block until the pain reported first. 4. Patient’s numerical pain score will be recorded every 4 hours until upto 24 hours.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To record the time of first rescue analgesia and adverse adverse effects if any.Timepoint: Postoperatively,pain will be assessed every 4 hours upto 24 hours by Numerical Pain intensity scale(0 to 10).
