Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients aged 65 85 years, scheduled for infraumbilical surgery under spinal anaesthesia, classified as ASA physical status I or II, and mentally competent to provide written informed consent were included in the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients were excluded from the study if they underwent emergency surgery, had an ankle brachial index less than 0.9, cardiac arrhythmia, severe cardiac impairment with left ventricular ejection fraction less than 30 percent, congenital heart disease, severe leg pain, history of deep vein thrombosis, or features of peripheral vascular disease. Exclusion also included surgical duration more than 2 hours, blood loss exceeding 30 percent of estimated blood volume requiring transfusion, orthopaedic surgery, obesity with BMI more than 30, presence of wounds at blood pressure measurement sites, inter-arm systolic blood pressure difference more than 10 mmHg on repeat reading, contraindications to spinal anaesthesia, known drug allergy, or conversion from spinal to general anaesthesia due to inadequate or failed block

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure in elderly patients having arterial wall stiffness with the elderly patients having normal arterial wall undergoing infraumbilical surgery under spinal anaesthesia.Timepoint: Analysis will be recorded at a 3 minute interval for the first 30 minutes and thereafter every 5 minutes till the completion of surgery. After completion of surgery vital parameters will be recorded every 30 minutes for the next 6 hours post operatively.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the heart rate between the groups.Timepoint: Analysis will be recorded at a 3 minute interval for the first 30 minutes and thereafter every 5 minutes till the completion of surgery. After completion of surgery vital parameters will be recorded every 30 minutes for the next 6 hours post operatively.;To compare the ST changes between the groups.Timepoint: Analysis will be recorded at a 3 minute interval for the first 30 minutes and thereafter every 5 minutes till the completion of surgery. After completion of surgery vital parameters will be recorded every 30 minutes for the next 6 hours post operatively.;To compare the incidence of hypotension and bradycardiaTimepoint: Analysis will be recorded at a 3 minute interval for the first 30 minutes and thereafter every 5 minutes till the completion of surgery. After completion of surgery vital parameters will be recorded every 30 minutes for the next 6 hours post operatively.
