Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  GROUP A  Group A will undergo Laparoscopy cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. They will be premedicated with Inj Midazolam and induced with Inj Fentanyl,Inj Propofol and Inj Vecuronium followed by Igel insertion. Maintainance will be achieved by Isoflurane, increments of muscle relaxant and controlled mechanical ventilation. EtCO2 will be maintained at 35-40 mm Hg. Lastly residual neuromuscular blockade will be antagonized with Neostigmine and Glycopyrrolate combination.  
Comparator Agent  GROUP B  Group B will undergo Laparoscopy cholecystectomy under segmental spinal anesthesia. Under aseptic precautions 25G Quinkies needle will be introduced in T10-T11 space in sitting position and after confirming free CSF flow 7.5mg isobaric Levo Bupivacaine 0.5% and 15mcg Fentanyl will be injected. Inj Ketamine 0.5mg/kg will be given before gas insufflation to prevent shoulder tip pain.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

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

Response - NO
Brief Summary  

Written informed consent will be obtained from each lot for anesthesia technique and probabilty to convert to general anesthesia if needed

Group A will undergo Laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia and Group B under segmental spinal block

Time to go test will be assessed three hours after completion of surgery i.e whether patients will be able to walk without support for 45 meters and then return to the starting point.Patients will be allowed to leave the hospital once they had passed urine and had been assessed by the surgeon.

Comparison of time to unaided mobility will be assessed every 30minutes post operatively

Incidence of post operative nausea and vomiting in both groups,timing of acceptance of clear fluids & return of bowel movements,post operative pain by visual analogue scale,time at which patient passed urine post operatively,time to discharge will all be assessed thereafter.
