Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare different approaches of spinal anesthesia in pregnant females who are having cesarean section. The main aim is

• Which approach is better in terms of avoiding intraoperative and post operative complications

Participants will be given anesthesia by

1. Midline approach
2. paramedian approach
3. Taylors approach

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Midline Approach

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.

PROCEDURE

Paramedian Approach

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.

PROCEDURE

Taylors approach

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.
