Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Time taken to perform spinal anesthesia after block. Within 5minutes Within 10 minutes Within 15 minutes Patient comfort & satisfaction during positioning. Anaesthesiologist s satisfaction during positioning. Hemodynamic stability during positioning & spinal anesthesia. Incidence of block-related complications (nausea, vomiting, hypotension, bradycardia, hematoma, LAST). Time to first postoperative analgesic requirement. Timepoint: Recording the time if any of the above events occur	—
