Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Informed written consent will be taken from all the patients.
Patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups, Group R1 (0.1% Ropivacaine) and Group R2 (0.2% Ropivacaine) utilising a computer generated table of random numbers before starting the procedure.
On the day of surgery patients shifted onto the operating table and monitors attached.
In both the groups, General anaesthesia and epidural anaesthesia will be performed by an anaesthesiologist.
Epidural catheterisation is done using 16G,18G or 20G Tuohy’s needle at L2-L2 or L3-L4 space.Position of the catheter is confirmed.
Post surgery patient is sent to Obstetric ICU for pain management and continuous epidural infusion using elastomeric pump at the rate of 5ml/hr is given.
Fentanyl 2mcg/ml is added to the local anaesthetic of all the patients.
Group allocation will be concealed by using coded sealed opaque envelopes which will be opened only by the attending doctor at Obstetric ICU.
If patient complains of pain of VAS more than 3 and less than 5,rescue analgesia of Injection.Paracetamol 1gram iv will be given.
If patient complains of pain of VAS more than 6 Injection.Tramadol 100/50 milligram iv will be given.
Pulse oximeter, non invasive blood pressure and electrocardiogram will be continuously monitored throughout epidural infusion.
Also VAS score at rest ,movement and while coughing will be assessed every 4-5 hourly.Other adverse effects such as motor blockade and hypotension will be assessed.
Epidural infusion will be continuously given during postoperative day 1 and 2 for 48 hours.
