Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
efficacy for managing pain, positioning during proximal femur fracture surgeries conducted under spinal anesthesiaTimepoint: efficacy for managing pain, positioning during proximal femur fracture surgeries conducted under spinal anesthesia at 3,5,7 & 10 minutes.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Time of onset of analgesiaTimepoint: will be assessed and is defined as the time taken from administration of block to reduction of VAS from pre block value. The patients will be made to sit for spinal anesthesia when the VAS score will be less than 4 ;Monitoring of parameters like HR, SBP, DBP,SPO2Timepoint: will be noted at baseline 5,10,15 minutes after the peripheral nerve block and every 15 minutes till the end of surgery—
