Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Comparator agent will be hyperbaric levobupivacaine made by adding dextrose to isobaric levobupivacaine.The duration of the study will be till the patient will be in post anaesthesia care unit / PACU.  Spinal anaesthesia will be given to patients.The frequency of drug- it will be given only once to the patient, at the beginning of induction of anaesthesia.The duration of therapy will be only till the patient will be in the post anaesthesia care unit / PACU or 3 hours.Either isobaric or hyperbaric levobupivacaine will be administered to patients.Isobaric levobupivacaine will be prepared by adding saline to levobupivacaine. The effect of the drugs will be studied regarding sensory block, motor block and their wearing effects.The duration of the study will be till the patient will be in post anaesthesia care unit / PACU. 
Intervention  Intervention will be spinal anaesthesia. Comparator will be hyperbaric levobupivacaine.It will be given to patients via spinal anaesthesia. The effects of hyperbaric form of drug will be compared with isobaric form. The duration of the study will be till the patient will be in post anaesthesia care unit / PACU.  Subarachnoid block will be given in patients. The frequency of drug will be given only once, at the beginning of induction of anaesthesia.The duration of the therapy will be only till the patient will be in the post anaesthesia care unit / PACU or 3 hours. The comparator agent will be hyperbaric levobupivacaine. It will be prepared by adding dextrose to levobupivacaine to make it hyperbaric. The effect of this will be compared with isobaric levobupivacaine. The effect of both the drugs will be compared and studied regarding sensory block, motor block and their wearing off effects.The duration of study will be till the patients are in post anaesthesia care unit / PACU.

Brief Summary   Spinal anaesthesia is a common and established technique for providing anaesthesia for infraumblical surgeries, i.e. surgeries below naval like haemorrhoidectomy, inguinal herniorrhaphy, transurethral retropubic prostatectomy, caesarean section or surgeries on lower limbs like debridement and amputation. In this type of anaesthesia patient is awake, does not go to sleep.It has its own benifits. The patient can be discharged from hospital on the same day.That will help the patient from extra expences and long stay in hospital.Spinal block is safe, effective and easy to perform technique.Spinal anaesthesia requires smaller dose of local anaesthetics and produces intense blockade. Levobupivacaine is an isomer, S[-] enantiomer of bupivacaine. It is less cardiotoxic and neurotoxic than bupivacaine which is commonly used in spinal anaesthesia. 
We intend to study the effects of hyperbaric levobupivacaine and plain levobupivacaine in spinal anaesthesia in patients . It has better safety profile than bupivacaine and hence a better choice if drug.
