Brief Summary

This study is a prospective double-blinded randomized trial comparingthe anestheticefficacy of 0.5 % Hyperbaric levobupivacaine and 0.5 % Hyperbaric bupivacainefor intrathecal anesthesia in below umbilical surgeries. The primary outcome isto compare the sub-arachnoid block characteristicsbetween 0.5% hyperbaric Levobupivacaine and 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine inbelow umbilical surgeries. Sensoryblockade will be assessed after the injection every 2 minutes till and motor blockade is assessed bymodified bromage scale every 5 min until the maximum motor block is achieved having a stable sensorylevel for the next 20 mins. The secondary objective is to assess and compare hemodynamic parameters between thegroup, hemodynamicparameters – systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterialpressure (MAP), heart rate and oxygen saturation are to be recorded 10 minutes prior to theprocedure and then at 5 mins, every 10 mins for the first half an hour and at 1hr., 2 hrs. To assess and compare adverse effects between the group  (nausea & Vomiting, adverse drug reaction, arrhythmia,respiratory depression). The time taken for the first rescue analgesia in the immediatepost-operative period will be noted in both groups. Intravenous PARACETAMOL at15 mg/kg will be used as the Rescue analgesia. Any adverse drug reactions tothe drugs will be reported to the ethics committee within 24 hours of theoccurrence of the event.
