Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade of 3ml of 0.5 percent Levobupivacaine with buprenorphine 90 mcg or nalbuphine 1.5 mg in subarachnoid block for lower limb surgeries.Timepoint: From intrathecal injection until first request for rescue analgesia or VAS is more than or equal to 4 VAS assessed at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare the duration postoperative analgesia. 2. To compare the hemodynamic changes. 3. To compare the adverse effects. Timepoint: Every 30 seconds after intrathecal injection until T10 level is achieved Every 2 minutes for the first 10 minutes Every 30 seconds until Modified Bromage Score 3 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, & 24 hours postoperatively
