Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the Onset and Duration of sensory and motor blockade produced by intrathecal dexmedetomidine and fentanyl when added to hyperbaric bupivacaine in cesarean deliveryTimepoint: The onset of sensory of sensory block will be assessed using a pinprick test every 2 minutes until T6 level is achieved. Hemodynamic parameters like BP, Pulse and SpO2 will be recorded for every 2 minutes in first 10 minutes and every 5 minutes until end of surgery and every 15 minutes in recovery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
onset of sensory and motor block duration of motor block duration of analgesia hemodynamic changesTimepoint: maternal an fetal outcomes
