Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Group R( table level at lower rib margin)  Patients included in the study will receive subarachnoid block at L3-L4 level in sitting position adjusting the operating table at level R (at the level of rib).The following will be measured at the time of performing the block 1.The angle of needle insertion(A) will noted. Successful block will be considered after CSF flow. 2.Number of attempts (N1,N2,N3) will be noted 3.Musculoskeletal discomfort of the Anaesthesiologist will be measured on NRS scale. 4.Degree of neck and thoracolumbar flexion will be noted on digital image. 
Intervention  Group U ( table level at umbilicus)  Patients included in the study will receive subarachnoid block at L3-L4 level in sitting position adjusting the operating table at level of U( at umbilicus of anaesthesiologist).The following will be measured at the time of performing the block. 1.The angle of the needle insertion(A) will be measured after successfully reaching the subarachnoid space.Successful spinal block will be considered after CSF flow. 2.Number of attempts (N1,N2,N3) will noted. 3.Musculoskeletal discomfort of the Anaesthesiologist will be measured on NRS scale. 3. Degree of neck and thoracolumbar flexion of the Anaesthesiologist will be noted while performing the procedure on digital image. 
Comparator Agent  Group X( table at level of xiphoid process)  Patients included in the study will receive subarachnoid block at L3-L4 level in sitting position adjusting the operating table at level X (at level of xiphoid process). The following will be measured at the time of performing the block 1.The angle of the needle insertion( A)will be measured after reaching the subarachnoid space of there patient. successful block will be considered after CSF flow 2.Number of attempts N1,N2,N3 will be noted. 3.Musculoskeletal discomfort of the Anaesthesiologist will be rated on NRS scale. 4. Degree of neck and thoracolumbar flexion of the Anaesthesiologist will be noted on digital image while performing the procedure.

Brief Summary   Tiltle: Impact of operating table ergonomics on Anaesthesiologist comfort while performing subarachnoid block.

Aim: to compare different height of operating table which increases the level of comfort of the anesthesiologist while performing spinal anesthesia.
Primary objective: to assess the optimal height of operating table which increases the level of comfort of the anaesthesiologist.
Secondary objective: 1. to assess the angle of entry of spinal needle at different table height. 2. to assess the number of redirection and success rate of block at different operating table height.

Inclusion criteria: patients of age group 18 to 60 years of physical status ASA I and II planned for surgery under spinal anaesthesia.
Exclusion criteria: Patient not willing to participate, with BMI>30, pregnant females, contraindication to spinal anesthesia, bleeding diathesis , patients with spine deformity and difficult spine will be excluded

sample size: 90

group allocation: U- operating table at the level; of umbilicus of the anesthesiologist
                          R- operating table at the level of rib
                          X- operating table at the level of xiphoid process

Assessment:  at the different operating table height 1) angle of spinal needle insertion 2) number of redirection required 3) successful block 4) musculoskeletal discomfort of the anesthesiologist and degree of neck flexion along will be noted
Analysis- data will be complied and appropriate statistical analysis will be applied.
