Health Condition / Problems Studied  
Health Type  Condition 
Healthy Human Volunteers  Patients willing to participate in study and provide informed consent. ASA physical status I and II. Age between 18 to 60 years. Patient posted for surgery under spinal anaesthesia. 
 
Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  3ml levobupivacaine + dexmedetomidine(5mcg) will be given to group LD and 3ml of levobupivacaine + dexmedetomidine(5mcg) will be given to group BD.  after giving spinal anaesthesia the onset and duration of sensory and motor block and hemodynamic parameters will be measured immediately after the block,5,10,15,20,25,30 and 60 minutes after spinal block, at the end of procedure every 60minutes in recovery room. 
Comparator Agent  comparison of inthrathecal bupivacaine versus intathecal levobupivacaine with dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant   out of 62 subjects 31 will receive 3ml of bupivacaine + dexmedetomidine(5mcg) and the other 31 will receive 3ml of levobupivacaine + dexmedetomidine(5mcg) as per group allocation.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare intrathecal bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine versus intrathecal levobupivacaine and dexmedetomidine in terms of onset and duration of sensory and motor block  dermatomes levels will be
tested every 2 min and sensory level is noted. Time to two segment sensory regression
will be recorded. The motor dermatome level will be assessed using Modified
Bromage scale. The time to reach Bromage scale 3 before surgery and Bromage 0 in
post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) will be recorded. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare two drugs in terms of duration of analgesia hemodynamic parameter and any adverse effects  immediately after
block, during the operation at 5, 10, 15,20,25, 30, and 60 min after spinal block, at the
end of the procedure and every 60 min in the recovery room.

Brief Summary   patient fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be assessed spinal anesthesia will be given the mentioned parameters like  onset and duration of sensory  motor block  duration of analgesia hemodynamic parameter and any adverse effects will be assessed. dermatomes levels will be tested every 2 min and sensory level is noted. Time to two segment sensory regression will be recorded. The motor dermatome level will be assessed using Modified Bromage scale. The time to reach Bromage scale 3 before surgery and Bromage 0 in post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) will be recorded On achieving adequate sensory blockade level surgery will be allowed.Hemodynamic monitoring including SBP and DBP mean arterial pressure,heart rate and peripheral oxygen saturation level will be recorded intra and postoperation as follow at the baseline values (before block)immediately after block during the operation at 5, 10, 15,20,25, 30, and 60 min after spinal block, at the end of the procedure and every 60 min in the recovery room.
