- Primary Outcome Measures

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method : this included proper adjustment of rate and duration of infusion to obtain minimal intraoperative heart rate and blood pressure fluctuation, and minimising other manifestations of SAIH (Spinal anaesthesia Induced Hypotension) such as nausea and vomiting during surgery.Timepoint: Following spinal anaesthesia and continued till 10 minutes after tourniquet release, Infusion doses will be tapered gradually and blood pressure readings will be noted for 10 minutes after stoppage.
