Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine the effect of epidural ropivacaine on Intravenous fluid given intraoperatively as compared with epidural injection of fentanyl.Timepoint: From Induction of anesthesia to after extubation of patient in kidney transplant recipients. Total IV fluid given will be calculated and noted. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| to evaluate the need for vasopressor requirement to maintain haemodynamic targets when administering epidural ropivacaine as compared to epidural fentanyl during renal transplant surgeryTimepoint: From Induction of anesthesia to the extubation of patient after kidney transplant surgery, the need for vasopressor requirement will be noted. | — |
