Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: patients going for elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia.Patients who will give informed written consent in vernacular language.Belonging to ASA Classes II status.Height of the parturient 145–170 cm.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To assess & compare between two groups the mean duration of analgesia. 2. To determine difference in mean time duration of sensory onset of spinal anaesthesia between bupivacaine & ketamine versus bupivacaine and magnesium sulphate in parturients undergoing elective caesarean section using pin prick method. 3. To assess and compare between two groups the mean time duration in motor onset using bromage score. 4. To assess and compare between two groups the mean time duration for sensory regression using pin prick sensation. 5. To assess and compare between two groups the mean time duration for motor regression using bromage scale.Timepoint: Blood pressure, pluse rate, ECG, & pulse oximetry will be recorded every 5 minute intervals during the first 15 minutes of surgery & then every 15 minutes until the end of the surgery. Sensory block level will be assessed based on loss of sensation to pinprick immediately after the subject is made supine & every 1 minute thereafter until block reached T6 sensory level. The measured time will be recorded as the onset of complete sensory block, & at this time, surgery will be allowed.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To assess & compare hemodynamic changes between the two groups. 2. Study any adverse effects associated with drugs given.Timepoint: 0 minutes 5 minutes 10 minutes 15 minutes 30 minutes 45 minutes
