Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Onset, Duration, and level of motor and sensory block, motor and sensory regression period.  time to reach t-9 sensory level will be taken as onset time.time to 1st rescue analgesic after surgery will give duration of analgesia. level of block will be assessed every 5 minutes till 30 minutes after block. motor and sensory regression will be assessed every 15 minutes post-operatively. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
any adverse effect like nausea, vomiting, hypotension, bradycardia or breathing difficulty.  hypotension, bradycardia will be assessed every 5 minutes intra-operatively and every 15 minutes post-operatively. other adverse effects will be recorded if occurs any time intra operatively and post operatively till the regression of sensory block.

Brief Summary  

After obtaining ethical clearance 100 in-patients of Indira Gaandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna belonging to ASA I and II posted for elective urological surgeries will be included in this study.

Pre-anaesthetic checkup will be done for all patients and written informed consent will be taken. On the day of surgery, patients will be shifted to the operation theatre  with an 18 G IV cannula secured and they will be preloaded with Ringer Lactate 10ml/kg approximately 20 minutes prior to the administration of spinal anaesthesia.

Non invasive blood pressure monitor, pulse oximeter and ECG leads will be connected for all patients and baseline values will be recorded. Supplementary oxygen will be provided at the rate of 5 litres/min via a face mask.

Under strict aseptic precautions 2.5ml of the study drug will be loaded by an anaesthesiologist not involved in the study. Therefore, the patient and the anaesthesiologist performing the spinal block and recording the intraoperative and postoperative data will be blinded. The study drug will be injected into L3-L4 sub arachnoid space using 26G whitacre spinal needle after confirming free flow of cerebrospinal fluid and the time of injection will be recorded as 0 minutes. Following this the patients will be made to lie supine immediately . Surgery will commence after loss of sensation to pinprick at T6 level.

Following parameters will be noted:

Onset of sensory block–Time taken from injection of study drug ( 0 minutes ) to loss of sensation to pin-prick at T6 level. It will be tested using a blunted 24G hypodermic needle bilaterally in the mid-clavicular line every 2 minutes.

Maximum sensory block attained– Time taken from injection of study drug (0 minutes ) till the patient attains loss of sensation at the highest dermatome in 10 minutes.It will be tested every 2 minutes using a blunted 24 g hypodermic needle bilaterally in mid-clavicular line for the first 10 minutes.Time taken to reach the highest level of block will be recorded.

Duration of sensory block– Time taken from maximum block height attained till regression of block to T10 dermatome. It will be tested at the end of surgery using a 24G hypodermic needle bilaterally in mid-clavicular line.

Onset of motor block–Time taken from injection of study drug ( 0 minutes ) till the patient attains Bromage 2.It will be tested using modified Bromage scale every 2 minutes.

Maximum motor block attained– Time taken from injection of drug ( 0 minutes ) till the patient attains maximum motor block.It will be tested every 2 minutes for the first 10 minutes.Time taken to attain the maximum motor block score in 10 minutes will be recorded.

Duration of motor block– Time taken from maximum Bromage score attained to Bromage 0.It will be tested at the end of surgery using modified Bromage scale.

Hemodynamic changes- Heart rate, systolic and mean arterial pressure and oxygen saturation will be recorded every 5 minutes till the completion of surgery and every 10 minutes postoperatively  till the regression of sensory and motor block.
