- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the analgesic effect provided by femoral nerve block and intravenous fentanyl by assessing <br/ ><br>1. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)Score. <br/ ><br>2. Time taken to achieve subarachnoid block. <br/ ><br>3. Quality of positioning. <br/ ><br>4. Patients acceptance. <br/ ><br>5. Number of additional doses of fentanyl during positioning for subarachnoid block.Timepoint: To compare the analgesic effect provided by femoral nerve block and intravenous fentanyl by assessing <br/ ><br>1. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)Score - to be seen before analgesia, 10min after analgesia and during positioning. <br/ ><br>2. Time taken to achieve subarachnoid block. <br/ ><br>3. Quality of positioning during positioning for sub arachnoid block. <br/ ><br>4. Patients acceptance during positioning for sub arachnoid block. <br/ ><br>5. Number of additional doses of fentanyl during positioning for subarachnoid block.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. Sedation score <br/ ><br>2. Hemodynamic changes like heart rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. <br/ ><br>3. Complications, if any.Timepoint: Sedation score following subarachnoid block and after 30 minutes. <br/ ><br>Hemodynamic changes before analgesia, 10 minutes after analgesia, during positioning and 1 min, 3min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60 min, 75 min and 90 min after subarachnoid block <br/ ><br>Complications postoperatively.
