Brief Summary  

The purpose of our study is to compare the time taken for subarachnoid block administered by traditional Landmark Technique versus Ultrasound Guided Subarachnoid Block in Caesarean section, in terms of time taken, number of attempts, number of redirections and number of failure of subarachnoid block, total preparation time, conversion to General anaesthesia and patient satisfaction.30 parturients scheduled to undergo elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia were included in the study.Group allocation was done by a closed envelope technique. In Group I,30 patients will receive Spinal anaesthesia by landmark technique and in Group II, 30 patients will undergo Ultrasound guided Spinal.
