Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.Pain score during positioning for spinal anesthesiaTimepoint: Numerical Rating Scale 0-10 before block, 15 min post block and at the time of positioning

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
•Time to optimal positioning •Change in pain scores •Block onset time •Ease of positioning •Hemodynamic changes •Complications Timepoint: 1.Time from end of block to readiness for spinal (defined by ability to sit or lateral position without assistance and minimal discomfort) 2.Change in pain scores at: oBefore block (Baseline) o15 minutes post-block oAt the time of spinal positioning 3.Time from block completion to first clinically observed pain relief 4.Ease of positioning: Graded by observer (1: Not possible, 2: With difficulty, 3: Comfortable) 5.HR and BP monitored at baseline, 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes 6.Complications: Local anesthetic toxicity, vascular puncture, motor weakness, infection
