Abstract

Introduction: Spinal anaesthesia is a safe, reliable, inexpensive anaesthetic technique for regional anaesthesia. It also allows early ambulation and early rates of hospital discharges. Material and methods: Present study was carried at tertiary care Hospital. After receiving ethical approval from the college ethical committee and CTRI registration, 64 patients aged 19 to 65 years old with ASA grade I and II physical status who were undergoing elective infra-umbilical surgeries were included in the study. Patients were randomly allocated in two groups of 32 patients each. Group C: Received 1% Isobaric Chloroprocaine 3 ml (30mg) + clonidine (30 mcg). Group F: Received 1% chloroprocaine 3ml (30 mg) + fentanyl (25 mcg). Total volume = 3.5ml. Sensory block was examined using pin prick method. Quality of motor block was examined and graded using Modified Bromage Scoring. Hemodynamic was monitored and side effects were noted.
