Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The aim of the study is to compare quality of anaesthesia in both the groups. Primary objective is to compare the onset time of sensory and motor blockade of Sciatico-femoral block by USG alone vs USG with PNS guidance.Timepoint: Baseline, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60min, 75 min, 90 min, 105 min, 120 min, 135 min, 150 min.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
2) To compare Performance time of block (Performance time of block is the preparing time and procedure time. Preparing time defined as the time from the beginning of the sterile preparation right before the first needle contact with the skin. Procedure time is time between the insertion of the needle and the end of local anaesthetic injection) 3) To compare duration of post op analgesia. (time to first rescue analgesic) 4) To compare any side effects and complications if any in both the groups. Timepoint: Baseline Before SF block 5 min after SF block 15 min after SF block 30 min after SF block 1 hr after SF block 1 hr 30min after SF block 2 hr after SF block 2 hr 30 after SF block 3 hr after SF block 3 hr 30 min after SF block 4 hr after SF block
