Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients aged 18-60 years, ASA physical status I-II Sensory blockade below T6 Scheduled for elective and emergency Lower Abdominal Surgeries under spinal anaesthesia

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patient refusal. Patients with absolute and relative contraindications to spinal anaesthesia like local skin infection, Vertebral column abnormalities, bleeding disorders, cardiopulmonary disease, neuropathies Patients with hypertension, patients with baseline systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg or mean arterial BP less than 60 mmHg, taking angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers. Patients with BMI more than 30 If the level of sensory blockade was found to be T6 and above, we excluded the patient from the study. Patients posted for unilateral spinal Anaesthesia. Pregnant women.
