Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the effect of rapid and gradual tourniquet deflation on increase in intracranial pressure changes,measured by optic nerve sheath diameter in patients undergoing lower limb orthopaedic surgeries under spinal anaesthesia.  ONSD measurement at 15 minutes before spinal anaesthesia,before tourniquet deflation, and at 1 min 5 min 10 min and 15 min after deflation  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints

Brief Summary   This is a prospective, comparative, randomized and interventional study comparing gradual and rapid tourniquet deflation on intracranial pressure measured by optic nerve sheath diameter in patient undergoing lower limb orthopaedic surgery under spinal anaesthesia.The primary outcome  will be calculated by increase in intracranial pressure change measured by ultrasound assessment of ONSD and also end tidal CO2 and blood pressure and heart rate
