Interventions

In group C (conventional)&#44
the anesthesiologist palpated the landmarks after positioning and selected interspinous space at 3rd and 4th lumbar spines. Strict aseptic technique was performed&#44
the anesthesiologist scrubbed before procedure&#44
wearing mask and sterile gloves.The skin was prepared by 2%chlorhexidine after with 1 to 2 ml of 1%lidocaine was use to infiltrate the skin(next to spinous process of 3rd lumbar spine 1 centimeter cau

0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 3.0 ml was injected., In group P(pre&#45

a portable ultrasound unit (Sonosite M&#45
Tirbo&#44
Sonosite&#44
Washington) with curved 2&#45
5 MHz was used for initial pre&#45
prcedural marking. A paramedian sagittal oblique view was used to identify sacrum and subsequent interspinous spaces in a cranial direction&#44

depth from skin to posterior dura and anterior dura was measured and mark midpoint of both short and long border of the probe.Then use a transverse median view to measure depth from skin to posterior
