- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. To compare the efficacy and duration of motor block and sensory block between the two drugs. <br/ ><br>2.To assess the post operative recovery profile and readiness for discharge in both the groups.Timepoint: 1. Motor block was assessed by Modified Bromage Scale (1-6). Sensory block was assessed by loss of sensation to pin prick. Both the blocks were assessed every 2 minutes till two consecutive readings remained the same, after which it was assessed every 10 minutes till the end of surgery. After the surgery block was assessed half hourly till complete regression of block. <br/ ><br>2.Post operatively patients were assessed half hourly by Post Anaesthetic Discharge Scoring System until the score reaches 9.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Post operative complications such as pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, backache, hypotension, delayed voiding and transient neurologic symptoms.Timepoint: All the patients were assessed after 24 hrs of surgery for post operative complications.;Post operative pain and analgesia <br/ ><br>Timepoint: Visual analogue scale (0-10) was used to assess the post-operative pain at rest and during passive movements at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6 hrs after surgery.
