Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To study the onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade, highest level of anesthesia and total duration of analgesia with bupivacaine alone or when either Fentanyl or saline is injected subsequent to Bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia. Timepoint: minutes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To study the changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), arterial oxygen saturation on pulse oximetry (SpO2). 2.To assess the requirement of postoperative rescue analgesia. 3.To study the postoperative side effects viz Nausea, vomiting, Itching, Urinary retention, respiratory depression etc. Timepoint: hours
