Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To study the effectiveness of segmental spinal anaesthesia by using Bromage scale and pin prick test to assess the motor and sensory blockade respectively.Timepoint: Sensory and motor blockade assessed till 10 minutes after giving segmental spinal anaesthesia	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To study the changes in hemodynamic parameters in the perioperative period. To look for adverse effects. Timepoint: Intraoperative monitoring of blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen saturation, ECG done every 15 minutes till the end of surgery. Post operative follow up for adverse effects like nausea/vomiting, hypotension, post dural puncture headache done till 24hrs after surgery. Post operative time of first rescue analgesia also noted	—
