Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Fractional spinal anaesthesia   Patient informed consent taken. Patient of ASA3 and 4 groups undergoing lower limb surgeries are randomly allocated into 2 groups by computer based allocation. 2 groups Group B- Bolus dose of bupivacaine heavy 0.5% 0.2mg/kg with 0.5mcg/kg buprinorphine according to ideal body weight Group F-- fractionated dose of bupivacaine heavy 0.5% 0.2mg/kg with 0.5mcg/kg buprinorphine according to ideal body weight 2/3rd followed by 1/3rd dose 60 seconds apart. Blood pressure and time of achieving T10 sensory level and bromage 4 is noted and duration of time of regression of sensory level by 2 dermatomes is noted and bromage 0 is noted. 
Comparator Agent  Fractional spinal anaesthesia is compared with bolus spinal anaesthesia for hemodynamic stability   Patient informed consent taken. Patient of ASA3 and 4 groups undergoing lower limb surgeries are randomly allocated into 2 groups by computer based allocation. 2 groups Group B- Bolus dose of bupivacaine heavy 0.5% 0.2mg/kg with 0.5mcg/kg buprinorphine according to ideal body weight Group F-- fractionated dose of bupivacaine heavy 0.5% 0.2mg/kg with 0.5mcg/kg buprinorphine according to ideal body weight 2/3rd followed by 1/3rd dose 60 seconds apart. Blood pressure and time of achieving T10 sensory level and bromage 4 is noted and total duration is upto time of regression of sensory level by 2 dermatomes is noted and bromage 0 is noted.
