Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.To assess & compare the difference in mean time of first rescue analgesia in both groups by using NRS score. 2.To observe change in NRS at one minute interval maximum up to 20 minutes after administration of block until NRS 3 for positioning of patient for spinal anaesthesia in both groups 3.To determine the difference in mean dose of analgesic required for 24 hours in both groups. Timepoint: 24 hours post operatively

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To assess quadriceps muscle strength using Oxford muscle strength grading. 2.To determine the change in the hemodynamic parameters (HR,SBP,DBP,MAP & SpO2) in both groups. 3.To observe side effect or complication, if any. Timepoint: 24 hours post operatively
