An Observational study to study the effect of anthropometric measurements and drug baricity on spinal aneasthesia

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Unilateral inguinal hernia, without obstruction or gangrene,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2020/01/022917
• Lead Sponsor: Dr Umme Sarah

Brief Summary

This study is intended to study of anthropometric measurements, like hip/shoulder width ratio on the spread of spinal anesthesia. In this study the baricity of drug(0.5% bupivacaine,0.75% ropivacaine) and its effect on the spread of spinal anesthesia will also be assessed. PIN PRICK test will be used to assess the extent of spread. Total level of spinal anaesthesia and  time taken to achieve the maximal sensory blockade will be noted
