Response - NO
Brief Summary   we are evaluating the various factors affecting the performance of  subarachnoid block among first year, second year and third year residents. we will be taking a randomized group of 50 patients posted for infra-umbilical surgeries under subarachnoid block  each for first, second and third year residents. Pre-anaesthetic check-up of all the patients will be done day prior to the surgery. The detailed clinical history, of the patient will be taken. All the patients will be subjected to complete general physical as well as systemic examination during the preoperative visit.The patient’s gender, age, height, and weight will be recorded, and BMI will be calculated. In addition, body type of patient; whether normal, thin, muscular or obese will be noted. 

Group allocation depending on Provider’s level of experience

All the 150 patients will receive spinal anaesthesia from Providers of 3 different level of experience

IFirst year postgraduate student- Having at least 6 months of experience

performing SA or at least have performed 15 successful subarachnoid block

IISecond year postgraduate student- Residents with >12 months of experience

in academic anaesthesia training.

IIIThird year postgraduate student-Resident with > 24 months of experience

in academic anaesthesia training.
