Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare the effects on haemodyamic parameters on patient receiving Bolus dose vs Fractionated dose of intrathecal bupivacaine and fentanyl. Timepoint: Hemodynamic Trends (HR, SBP, DBP, MAP, SpO2)-Baseline (before spinal anesthesia), then intraoperatively at 2 min, 4 min, 6 min, 8 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 40 min, 50 min, 60 min, 70 min, 80 min, 90 min, 100 min, 110 min, and 120 min. Postoperatively at 30 min, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, then hourly up to 6 hours.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare block characteristics & post operative analgesia in patients receiving Bolus dose vs Fractionated dose of intrathecal bupivacaine & fentanyl.Timepoint: Sensory & Motor Block Characteristics-Every 5 minutes intraoperatively until maximum block is achieved, then postoperatively at 30 min, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, then hourly up to 6 hours. Duration of Postoperative Analgesia- Postoperatively at 30 min, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, then hourly up to 6 hours.
