Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Patients aged 18 years or older who are willing to undergo neuraxial blocks. 2.Patients undergoing surgical procedures under neuraxial blocks (spinal or CSE). 3.Patients who are able to participate in the study and provide follow-up data.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Patient s refusal for the study 2.Patients under 18 years of age. 3.Patients undergoing procedures under general anaesthesia, sedation, or other types of regional anaesthesia (e.g., peripheral nerve blocks). 4.Patients with contraindications to neuraxial blocks, such as: - Coagulopathy - Infection at the site of needle insertion - Severe hypovolemia - Uncorrected hypotension -Known allergy to any of the amide local anaesthetic agents 5.Patients undergoing simultaneous procedures that may affect the outcome of the neuraxial block (e.g., surgery on the spine or nervous system). 6.Patients who are transferred to another hospital or facility within 24 hours of the procedure. 7.Patients with pre-existing conditions that may affect the outcome of the neuraxial blocks, such as: - Neuropathic pain - Spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Determine the incidence of undermentioned adverse events following spinal and combined spinal epidural (CSE) blocks in patients undergoing surgical procedures in a teaching hospital:- 1.Inadequate or failed neuraxial anaesthesia 2.High spinal anaesthesia 3.Total spinal anaesthesia 4.Intraoperative hypotension 5.Nerve damage 6.Post dural puncture headache 6.Transient neurologic symptoms 7.Infections including epidural abscess &meningitis 8.Spinal-epidural hematoma formation Timepoint: Within 30 days post operatively

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Identify the patient related risk factors associated with adverse events following neuraxial blocks. 2.Identify the procedure related risk factors associated with adverse events following neuraxial blocks. Timepoint: Within 30 days post operatively
