Response - NO
Brief Summary   While both lateral decubitus and sitting positions are frequently employed, their comparative efficacy and patient satisfaction remain subject of investigation. Therefore, we compared these two positions concerning procedural success, duration, patient satisfaction, and healthcare provider satisfaction was undertaken. we hypothesized that the success rate of subarachnoid block is better in sitting position and is better for operator but patient will be comfortable in lateral position.
