Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Post-dural-puncture headache (PDPH)

    PDPH is the most common complication after spinal anesthesia. Our study is based on prevention of PDPH using different approach in spinal anesthesia

    1 month

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Hypotension and bradycardia secondary to sympathetic blockade

    1 day

  • Hypothermia

    1 day

  • Respiratory failure

    5 days

  • Spinal Shock

    1 day

  • Urinary retention

    1 month

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Group M

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

It will involve participants who are given spinal anesthesia through midline approach.

Procedure: Midline Approach

Group P

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

It will involve participants who are given spinal anesthesia through paramedian approach.

Procedure: Paramedian Approach

Group T

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

It will involve participants who are given spinal anesthesia through Taylors approach.

Procedure: Taylors approach

Interventions

In the midline approach, the spinal approach to the intrathecal space is midline with a straight line shot. After infiltration with lidocaine, the spinal needle is introduced into the skin, angled slightly cephalic. The needle traverses the skin, followed by subcutaneous fat. A single dose of 12.5mg of 0.5% bupivacaine (preservative free) will be used for the spinal anesthetic, the effects of this will last approximately 2 hours.

Also known as: Spinal needle, Bupivacaine
Group M

The paramedian approach involves inserting the spinal needle 1 cm away from the midline in medial direction. A single dose of 12.5mg of 0.5% bupivacaine (preservative free) will be used for the spinal anesthetic, the effects of this will last approximately 2 hours.

Also known as: Spinal needle, Bupivacaine
Group P

his arm will have the procedure of spinal anesthetic performed via 'Taylor's approach' which is a paramedian approach to interspace L5 - S1. A single dose of 12.5mg of 0.5% bupivacaine (preservative free) will be used for the spinal anesthetic, the effects of this will last approximately 2 hours.

Also known as: Spinal needle, Bupivacaine
Group T
