Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Real-time ultrasound guided spinal anaesthesia  after marking widest intervertebral space similar to ultasound-assisted technique, the curvilinear probe is held in non-dominant hand and spinal needle in dominant hand. the probe is placed vertically paramedian at the intersection point and the needle is advanced under vision till dural penetration is achieved in Paramedian Saggital Out-of Plane approach. On ana average, 1-2 cases performed daily over a period of 6 months. 
Intervention  Ultrasound-assisted spinal anaesthesia  Patient is given sitting position, prepared for spinal anaesthesia. Curvilinear probe of portable ultrasound machine is used to locate the widest intervertebral space and marked with sterile skin marker. Spinal anaesthesia is given at the intersection point. On an average 1-2 cases performed daily over a period of 6 months,

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Spinal anaesthesia is traditionally performed using the landmark technique. Despite the spinous processes being reliable surface anatomical landmarks in many patients, they are not always easily recognized. Multiple needle attempts may lead to a higher incidence of complications. Ultrasonography scanning has shown better puncture success rates, shorten puncture time and greater efficacy and safety of spinal anaesthesia. Techniques such as Ultrasound assisted (USAS) and Real-time guided ultrasound (USRTG) can be used to facilitate the same.
