Brief Summary  

This study is a prospective, double blinded, parallel group, randomized controlled, tertiary centre trial comparing the duration and efficacy of postoperative analgesia between preservative free low dose (60 mcg) intrathecal buprenorphine hydrochloride as adjuvant to (10 mg) 0.5 percent hyperbaric bupivacaine versus (10 mg) intrathecal 0.5 percent hyperbaric bupivacaine alone to determine the better effective study arm in terms of achieving better postoperative analgesia and patient satisfaction with least side effects in women undergoing elective caesarean section. 

The primary outcome will be the total duration of postoperative analgesia. 

The secondary outcomes will be the followings- 

  1. Hemodynamic response
  2. Complications (eg. pruritus, nausea and/or vomiting, respiratory depression)
  3. 24-hour postoperative pain (Visual Analogue Score)
  4. Level of Sedation (Ramsay Sedation Score)
  5. APGAR score (status of the neonate)
