Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Onset and duration of sensory block Onset and duration of motor block Hemodynamic stability Intensity and duration of post operative pain relief between two groups Sedation scale ComplicationsTimepoint: Onset of sensory block- from intrathecal injection to loss of pinprick sensation at T8 dermatome level Duration of sensory block- from onset to sensory regression to T10 dermatome level Onset of motor block- from intrathecal injection to achieve grade 3 motor block Duration of motor block- from onset to time to recede to grade 0 motor block Hemodynamic stability- immediately after block and at 5 minutes intervals for first 20 minutes then every 20 minutes till first rescue analgesic given Duration of post operative analgesia- from end of surgery at every 3o minutes till first rescue analgesic given Sedation scale- every 30 minutes till Sedation score 2 will be achieved Complications - for 24 hours
