GroupInterventionDescription
Saddle group0.5% Hyperbaric BupivacaineAfter administration of 12mg of 0.5 % Hyperbaric Bupivacaine intrathecally, Patient is advised to remain in Sitting position for the next 5minutes and then take supine position
Spinal group0.5% Hyperbaric BupivacaineAfter administration of 12mg of 0.5% Hyperbaric Bupivacaine intrathecally, Patient is advised to take Supine position immediately.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Haemodynamic statusHaemodynamic status checked from 0minutes ( as the patient takes supine position) for every 5minutes interval till the end of surgery.

Haemodynamic status includes pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and oxygen saturation.

Pulse rate ranges between 60-100 beats/ minute. Pulse above 100 is called tachycardia and below 60 is called bradycardia Systolic blood pressure more than 140mmhg is called systolic hypertension and lower than 90mmhg is known as systolic hypotension.

Diastolic blood pressure more than 90mmhg is called diastolic hypertension and lower than 60mmhg is called diastolic hypotension.

Mean arterial pressure ranges between 70-110. More than 110 labeled as hypertension and below 70 means hypotension.

Spo2 level below 94% is labeled as hypoxia.

Vasopressor usageBlood pressure is taken from 0minute (as the patient takes supine position) at every ⁵minutes interval till the end of surgery

The main side effect of intrathecal 0.5 % hyperbaric Bupivacaine is hypotension. That is countered by using vasopressor drug e.g inj. Ephedrine. Critically low blood pressure e.g systolic bp below 90mmhg, diastole c blood pressure below 60mmh and MAP below 60 is an indication for vasopressor introduction.
