Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  SOFT block vs Lumbar Sciatic vs Combined spinal epidural block  SOFT block vs Lumbar Sciatic vs Combined spinal epidural block 
Intervention  USG and PNS guided SOFT block  Using an in-plane technique a 12cm stimulating block needle will be inserted just medial to the femoral vein to a depth of 1-3cm just below and parallel to skin, then redirected towards lateral fibres of femoral nerve where 15ml of 0.5% bupivacaine will be injected. To block the obturator nerve, the probe will be moved medially placed superior to the needle and tilted cranially to identify pectineus muscle proximally. The needle will then be withdrawn to the subcutaneous tissue and redirected using an out-of-plane technique toward deep surface of pectineus where 10ml of 0.5% bupivacaine will be injected. To identify the sciatic nerve keeping the needle in situ the USG probe will be switched to a curvilinear probe, which shall be placed longitudinally just medial to the femoral vessels, inferior to the needle and rotated to or tilted to get a longitudinal image of the sciatic nerve. The needle tip will then be withdrawn to the subcutaneous plane and redirected using an in-plane technique toward sciatic nerve deep to the inferior border of quadratus femoris muscle.The needle tip will be adjusted to elicit tibial twitches using a current of 0.5-1.0 mA before injecting the drug.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1.To know if single puncture SOFT block can be used as
2.Alternative to CSE and lumbar plexus and sciatic nerve block for knee and leg surgeries.
3.Outcomes measured will be to study onset of sensory and motor blockade and duration of analgesia with each technique.
 
Level of sensory and motor blockade 2min, 5min, 10min, 20 min after the block
 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   patients undergoing knee and leg surgeries are commonly given combined spinal epidural or General anaesthesia . By giving SOFT block perioperative morbidity could be reduced. This study aims to assess the same.
