Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Spinal anaesthesia given in lateral position.  In lateral group, administration of drug into the subarachnoid space will be done in lateral position and time taken to achive T5 sensory blockade will be noted and maximal level of sensory block will be defined as number of spinal segments blocked above T5 at 60 minutes after administration of drug into subarachnoid space. 
Intervention  Spinal anaesthesia given in sitting position.  In sitting group, administration of drug into the subarachnoid space will be done in sitting position and time taken to achieve T5 sensory blockade will be noted and maximal level of sensory block will be defined as number of spinal segments blocked above T5 at 60 minutes after administration of drug into subarachnoid space.

Brief Summary   Spinal anaesthesia is a safe and widely used technique in caesarean section as it avoids problems with general anaesthesia such as manipulation of airway, aspiration, cognitive dysfunction and the use of polypharmacy.
