Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Injection Bupivacaine heavy  Dose: 20mg intrathecal route. Duration:20minutes post spinal anaesthesia We observe for onset, duration, extend and recovery time of sensory block (analgesia to pinprick) observe the duration and degree of lower limb motor block (with James modified Bromage Scale) observe the time to first micturition observe the hemodynamic parameters (heart rate, blood pressure) and observe for any incidence of adverse events and for the need of general anesthesia (GA) supplementation in comparison to spinal anesthesia achieved with injection ropivacaine heavy.  
Intervention  Injection ropivacaine heavy  Dose 30mg intrathecal route. Duration 20 minutes post spinal anesthesia We observe for onset, duration, extend and recovery time of sensory block (analgesia to pinprick) observe the duration and degree of lower limb motor block (with James modified Bromage Scale) observe the time to first micturition observe the hemodynamic parameters (heart rate, blood pressure) and observe for any incidence of adverse events and for the need of general anesthesia (GA) supplementation in comparison to spinal anesthesia achieved with injection bupivacaine heavy.

Brief Summary   Spinal anesthesia for most lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries are carried out using injection bupivacaine heavy, which produces effective autonomic, sensory and motor blockade of the dermatomes above and below the level of intrathecal injection. However, bupivacaine is a long-acting agents with increased risks of re-entrant arrhythmias and cardiac depression which lead to the development of ropivacaine, which has increased threshold in terms of risk of CVS or CNS toxicity unlike bupivacaine. Also, with the advent of day care surgical procedures and early postoperative patient mobilization to aid in better prognostic outcome, using a long-acting agent such as bupivacaine becomes a deterrent. Additionally, the use of hyperbaric ropivacaine for subarachnoid blockade is still in nascent stages in our country. We require more studies to evaluate and assess the degree of effective ascend as well as descend of sensory and motor block with hyperbaric ropivacaine in order to encourage more clinical use of this drug and help us take a step towards better patient mobilization and care postoperatively for routine day care surgeries.
