Brief Summary   This study is a randomised controlled, double blinded, parallel group, single centre study to compare three different intra-operative epidural regimens and investigate their propensity to cause intra-operative hypotension as defined by a mean arterial blood pressure less than 70 mmHg. The three epidural regimens are only bupivacaine, only morphine or both. The primary outcome is the number of episodes of intraoperative hypotension and the mean of the mean arterial blood pressure of these episodes. The secondary outcomes are the ephedrine and/or phenylephrine requirement, maximum noradrenaline requirement and duration of noradrenaline requirement and fluid requirements. All measurements will be done from the time of administration of the study drug which is at laparotomy incision to two hours from then. The hypothesis is that the combination of epidural bupivacaine and morphine is likely to cause more hypotension than the comparators.
