Overview
Brief Summary
To compare the effects of using different doses of intrathecal hyperbaric prilocaine 2% combined with fentanyl 25 µg in patients scheduled for a day-case lower abdominal and urologic surgery in the geriatric patient population.
Detailed Description
* To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric Prilocaine 2% in a reduced dose (30mg) in combination with Fentanyl (25µg) in day-case lower abdominal and urologic surgeries in the geriatric population. * To compare between three different doses of prilocaine 2% in elderly patients undergoing day case lower abdominal and urologic surgeries. * To estimate the duration of stay in PACU and hospital stay with different doses of prilocaine 2% in elderly patients undergoing day case lower abdominal and urologic surgeries.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Duration of motor Block in hours
Time Frame: Through Study Completion,an average of 1day
The primary outcome measure will be duration of motor Block in minutes, defined as the duration between intrathecal drug injection and time to unassisted ambulation or Bromage's score = 0 (no motor block).
Secondary Outcomes
- Onset of motor block in minutes(Through Study Completion,an average of 1day)
- Highest dermatomal level of sensory block.(Through Study Completion,an average of 1day)
- Onset of sensory block in minutes(Through Study Completion,an average of 1day)
- Motor block at the time of reaching highest sensory block.(through study completion,an average of 1day)
- Full regression of sensory block(Through Study Completion,an average of 1day)
- Duration of PACU stay(Through Study Completion,an average of 1day)
- Time to reach to highest sensory block in minutes.(Through study completion,an average of 1day)
- The incidence of adverse effects(Through Study Completion,an average of 1day)
