Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To measure actual skin to subarachnoid space distance in paediatric patients aged 2 years or less coming to our institution.Timepoint: After appreciating free flow of CSF and injecting 0.5% Bupivacaine(H)and then spinal needle will be marked at baseline or 0 min with sterile marker and length will be measured at 1 min with standard scale and noted.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To find out the best method to predict actual skin to subarachnoid space distance using ultrasound and some formulae.Timepoint: Before giving spinal anesthesia skin to subarachnoid space distance will be measured ultrasonographically and some formule.
