Completed

• Conditions: Disease of intestine, unspecified,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2015/08/006104
• Lead Sponsor: Lady Hardinge Medical Collee

Brief Summary

The aim of study was to evaluate and compare the duration of postoperative analgesia, determine the time to reach the discharge criteria, asses the incidence of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, urinary retention and observe the hemodynamic parameter during intra-operative period.  In our study we found prolonged postoperative analgesia, shorter time to reach the discharge criteria,  lesser incidence of side effects and better hemodynamic stability in paravertebral group as compared to spinal anaesthesia.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The duration of post-operative analgesia was higher in paravertebral (PVB) group as compared to the spinal anaesthesia (SA). Also shorter time taken to reach the discharge criteria for home readiness in PVB group as compared to SA group.	Both assessed postoperatively at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hrs

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The incidence of side effects such as PONV, headache and urinary cathertisation were higher in SA group as to PVB. Significant decrease in blood pressure seen in SA as compared to the PVB block . No significant changes seen in heart rate and oxygen saturation.	Incidence of side effect observe post operatively for 24 hrs.
