Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1.To assess and compare pain by NRS at different time intervals after administration of block. 2.To observe the change in NRS at one minute interval maximum up to 20 minutes after administration of block, until NRS less than 3 for positioning of patient for spinal anaesthesia. 3.To determine the difference in mean time of first rescue analgesia by using NRS and mean dose of analgesic required in 24 hours in both groups. Timepoint: 1.To assess and compare pain by NRS at 30min,1st,2nd,4th and 6th hr followed by every 6th hourly till 24 hours after administering block. 2.To observe the change in NRS at one minute interval up to 20 minutes after administration of block, for positioning of patient for spinal anaesthesia. 3.To determine the mean dose of analgesic required in 24 hours in both groups.	—
