Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
a) To assess duration of sensory block with isobaric levobupivacaine and isobaric levobupivacaine with dexmedetomidine. b)To assess total segments blocked for the dose/volume of isobaric levobupivacaine and isobaric levobupivacaine with dexmedetomidine with respect to the level of introduction at thoracic spine Timepoint: After giving spinal anaesthesia segments of sensory block shall be assessed with cold sensation. Both upper level and lower level of dermatomes are assessed and marked. Time taken for 2 segments regression shall be considered for the second time point for duration. (Time point 1:onset of block, time point 2: two segment regression. Difference between the two will be duration of block)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the incidence of hypotension, nausea & vomiting, shivering, early post-operative ambulation & urinary retention.Timepoint: Any fall in NIBP of 20% of baseline will be noted immediately after spinal and measurements are will be taken at an interval of 5 min for the first 30min after spinal anaesthesia & thereafter for every 15min till end of surgery. Patients are followed up for 24 hours to assess secondary outcomes
