Detailed description

200 patients, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classes I and II, were enrolled in this feasible study. All patients were subjected to abdominoplasty operation under spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia. Any intraoperative complications like hypotension, bradycardia, pain, nausea and vomiting related to spinal anesthesia were managed and recorded. Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess pain severity and the need for analgesia to be administered.
