Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Group M
. Group M (n = 40) receive 2 ml of 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine (10 mg) plus 0.5 ml midazolam (2 mg) ) intrathecally
Drug: Midazolam
2 ml of 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine (10 mg) plus 0.5 ml midazolam (2 mg)will be given intrathecally in L3 and L4 space with 25 gauge Quincke spinal needle via midline approach in sitting position. On free flow of cerebrospinal fluid, study drug will be injected intrathecally . Patients will immediately turn to supine position
Experimental: group F

group F (n = 40) receive 2 ml of 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine (10 mg) plus 0.5 ml fentanyl (25 μg) intrathecally.

Under all aseptic precautions, spinal anaesthesia will be given in L3 and L4 space with 25 gauge Quincke spinal needle via midline approach in sitting position. On free flow of cerebrospinal fluid, study drug will be injected intrathecally . Patients will immediately turn to supine position
Drug: Fentanyl
2 ml of 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine (10 mg) plus 0.5 ml fentanyl (25 μg)will be given intrathecally in L3 and L4 space with 25 gauge Quincke spinal needle via midline approach in sitting position. On free flow of cerebrospinal fluid, study drug will be injected intrathecally . Patients will immediately turn to supine position
