Outcome
|
Timepoint(s) at which outcome measured
|
Primary Outcome |
maternal VAS score |
Before intrathecal injection, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60,75, 90, 105, 120 min after block 120 min after block |
Primary Outcome |
Time for the beginning of analgesia in each group (onset time). |
The time from intrathecal injection till first reduction in pain intensity by at least 1 in VAS will be the time to onset of analgesia |
Primary Outcome |
The level of sensory block will be assessed using alcohol swabs on both sides of the body and the maximum level of sensory block |
once |
Primary Outcome |
The time from intrathecal injection to two dermatome sensory regression, sensory regression to S1 dermatome, and motor block regression to Bromage 1 |
once |
Primary Outcome |
Pain at the peak of a contraction |
every 5 min for 30 min then every 15 min until request for further analgesic |
Primary Outcome |
pain score during the last contraction |
once |
Primary Outcome |
Duration of pain relief defined as the time from spinal injection to the first request for rescue analgesics or when the VAS is >3.and Time to first administration of supplemental analgesics (clinical duration) |
once |
