Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the quality of sensory and motor block achieved with hypobaric and hyperbaric spinal anesthesia.Timepoint: Modified Bromage Scale and dermatome sensory levels will be done every 1 5 minutes till complete sensory and motor regression. The time needed for the sensory block t o regress t o L5 (sensory recovery; assessed by eliciting pinprick sensation at the great toe) and the time to complete motor recovery, that is, the time taken for walking unaided (also considered a s the time for readiness t o discharge) will be noted.	—
