Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To analyze the correlation between hip/shoulder - width ratio and maximum sensory blockade to pin prick sensation.Timepoint: The cephalad spread of spinal anaesthesia will be assessed at 5-minute intervals till 30 minutes after intrathecal injection and the level of spread 30 minutes after intrathecal injection will be used for the analysis.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To analyze the correlation of age, height, weight, vertebral column length with maximum sensory blockade to pin prick sensation.Timepoint: The cephalad spread of spinal anaesthesia will be assessed at 5-minute intervals till 30 minutes after intrathecal injection and the level of spread 30 minutes after intrathecal injection will be used for the analysis.—
