Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine  Patients will be receiving 2.8ml of 0.5% hyperbaric Bupivacaine (14mg). After skin infiltration with 2% lidocaine, lumbar puncture will be done using 26 G Quincke’s spinal needle at L3- L4 interspace in the midline.The prepared solution will be injected into subarachnoid space after confirming free flow of CSF and the patient will be made supine immediately after injection.  
Intervention  0.75% isobaric ropivacaine  Patients will be receiving 2.8ml of 0.75% Isobaric Ropivacaine (21mg). Total volume of the injected solution will be 2.8 ml. After skin infiltration with 2% lidocaine, lumbar puncture will be done using 26 G Quincke’s spinal needle at L3- L4 interspace in the midline.The prepared solution will be injected into subarachnoid space after confirming free flow of CSF and the patient will be made supine immediately after injection.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Our primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of two different drugs of same group (alpha2 adrenergic agonist) clonidine & dexmedetimidine in combination with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine via intrathecal route with regard to the quality of anaesthesia namely time to attain highest sensory and motor blockade, haemodynamic changes and time to first rescue analgesia.  WITHIN 24 HOURS 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
sedatory effects of both drugs in the postoperative period.  5months

Response - NO
Brief Summary   unless contraindicated, almost all the lower abdomen and lower limb surgeries are done under spinal anaesthesia using hyperbaric bupivacaine. To prolong the sensory and motor blockade duration following spinal anaesthesia various additives has been used historically, here in our study i am going to compare alpha 2 agonist clonidine and dexmedetomidine as a spinal additive in prolonging the duration of spinal analgesia, hemodynamic fluctuations and its effects on sedation.
