Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the two drugs in terms of Onset of sensory and motor block. Duration of sensory and motor block.Timepoint: The segmental level of sensory block will be assessed by loss of sensation to pin-prick at 2 minute intervals for first 15 minutes and thereafter at 15 minute intervals till regression to L5. The motor block will be evaluated at similar time intervals using modified Bromage scale. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the maximum level of sensory block achieved To compare the frequency of adverse effects like hypotension, bradycardia, nausea, vomiting in both the groupsTimepoint: Time taken to achieve maximal level of sensory block will be noted in both groups Adverse effects like hypotension, bradycardia, nausea, vomiting, arrythmias, any episode of desaturation(spo2 less than 90%) | — |
