Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  hyperbaric Ropivacaine alone  2 ml of 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine with 0.5 ml of normal saline will be given intrathecally.Onset of sensory blockad,Maximum level of sensory blockade attained and the time taken for the same, Time for two-segment sensory regression,Onset and duration of motor blockade and Total duration of analgesia will be recorded  
Comparator Agent  Hyperbaric Ropivacaine plus Dexmedetomidine  2 ml of 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine with dexmedetomidine 10 μg will be given intrathecally. Onset of sensory blockade, Maximum level of sensory blockade attained and the time taken for the same,Time for two-segment sensory regression, Onset and duration of motor blockade and Total duration of analgesia will be recorded  
Comparator Agent  Hyperbaric Ropivacaine plus Fentanyl  2 ml of 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine with fentanyl 25 μg will be given intrathecally.Onset of sensory blockad,Maximum level of sensory blockade attained and the time taken for the same, Time for two-segment sensory regression,Onset and duration of motor blockade and Total duration of analgesia will be recorded  
Intervention  Spinal Anaesthesia  Spinal anesthesia will be performed while placing the patients in the sitting position. Sterilization of patients’ back will be done with povidone iodine solution 10%. Lumbar puncture will be performed using a midline approach at the level of L2–L3 or L3–L4 using 25-G Quinckes spinal needle with the distal port facing laterally. Once free flow of cerebrospinal fluid was obtained, the study drug will be injected into the subarachnoid space.Total duration of intervention will be approx. 10 mins.

Brief Summary  
Spinal anesthesia is the most preferred technique for infraumbilical surgeries. Hyperbaric Ropivacaine has been shown to produce reliable and predictable anesthesia for surgery. Fentanyl, a synthetic lipophilic opioid, and Dexmedetomidine, a new highly selective alpha 2 agonist have been used as neuraxial adjuvants in spinal anesthesia to prolong intraoperative and postoperative analgesia. This study is undertaken to investigate and compare the clinical effects of 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine with additives such as fentanyl and dexmedetomidine on spinal anesthesia for infraumbilical surgeries.
