Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Under all aseptic precautions subarachnoid block will be performed at L3-L4 or L4-L5 interspace with patient in sitting position, using 2 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine  Spinal anaesthesia is given using 2ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine Following variables will be recorded: Onset of sensory block at T10 dermatome Maximum level of sensory block achieved Time taken to achieve maximal level of sensory block Onset of motor block (bromage scale 1) Time to achieve complete motor block Duration of sensory block: from time of onset at T10 dermatome till regression to L5 Duration of analgesia: from the onset of sensory block at T10 till VAS score 4 (first request for analgesia). Duration of motor block: from time of onset till complete motor recovery. Heart rate and systolic blood pressure will be recorded at baseline, every 2 minutes during the first 10 minutes after spinal block, then every 5 minutes during the first hour and then every 10 minutes until the patient is shifted to the recovery room. Adverse effects like hypotension, bradycardia, nausea, vomiting, any episode of desaturation (spo2 90%), or arrhythmias.  
Intervention  Under all aseptic precautions subarachnoid block will be performed at L3-L4 or L4-L5 interspace with patient in sitting position, using 2ml of 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine   Spinal anaesthesia is given using 2ml of 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine Following variables will be recorded: Onset of sensory block at T10 dermatome Maximum level of sensory block achieved Time taken to achieve maximal level of sensory block Onset of motor block (bromage scale 1) Time to achieve complete motor block Duration of sensory block: from time of onset at T10 dermatome till regression to L5 Duration of analgesia: from the onset of sensory block at T10 till VAS score 4 (first request for analgesia).

Method of Generating Random Sequence   Computer generated randomization 
Method of Concealment   Sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes 
Blinding/Masking   Participant and Outcome Assessor Blinded 
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the two drugs in terms of
Onset of sensory and motor block.
Duration of sensory and motor block. 
The segmental level of sensory block will be assessed by loss of sensation to pin-prick at 2 minute intervals for first 15 minutes and thereafter at 15 minute intervals till regression to L5. The motor block will be evaluated at similar time intervals using modified Bromage scale. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the maximum level of sensory block achieved
To compare the frequency of adverse effects like hypotension, bradycardia, nausea, vomiting in both the groups  
Time taken to achieve maximal level of sensory block will be noted in both groups
Adverse effects like hypotension, bradycardia, nausea, vomiting, arrythmias, any episode of desaturation(spo2 less than 90%)

Brief Summary  

In this study we are comparing the efficacy and safety of intrathecal hyperbaric ropivacaine with hyperbaric bupivacaine in patients undergoing caesarean section under spinal anesthesia. The present study is intended to compare the efficacy and safety of hyperbaric ropivacaine with hyperbaric bupivacaine.
