Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
It will be assessed by maximum sensory block level and motor block achieved with ropivacaine(0.75%) in relation to vertebral column length and abdominal circumference.Timepoint: Sensory block level will be assessed by pinprick sensation in midclavicular line at 2 minutes interval initially,then every 5 minutes till maximum sensory block level achieved	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1) Time to reach highest sensory block level 2) Time to reach Bromage score 3 3) Time taken to recede Bromage score 0 4) Determination of depth of subarachnoid space 5)Time taken of two segment regression from maximum sensory block Timepoint: 2 segment regression will be checked 1 hr after maximum sensory block achieved, then after 15 minutes interval. Motor block will be assessed by modified Bromage scale	—
