Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
During the procedure all ethical and hospital protocols will be followed. After proper counselling, preparation and monitoring according to local protocols, an injection of 3ml of lidocaine 2% local anesthetic will be given at injection site five minutes before spinal anesthesia.
Patients with ASA 2 classification for elective caesarian section are divided into two groups ;Group A (Intervention Group) will receive spinal anesthesia with 27G Quincke needle for elective caesarian section and group B (Comparator group) will receive spinal anesthesia with 25G Quincke needle for elective caesarian section by a consultant anesthetist, around fifteen minutes prior to surgery. Patients will be observed for Post Dural Puncture headache for the next 72 hours.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
all data will be stored and analyzed in SPSS version 23.0. Mean + SD will be calculated for quantitative variables like age ,BMI, Gravity ,parity and number of attempts. Frequency and percentages will be calculated for categorical like PDPH. PDPH will be stratified among age ,BMI, Gravity, parity and number of attempts to see the effect modification using chi square test with p value of 0.5as significant. all results will be presented in the form of tables and graphs.

Summary
Brief summary
Spinal anesthesia has many advantages as compared to general anesthesia but one of its distressing disadvantage is Post Dural Puncture Headache.
Its frequency is directly related to the diameter and type of bevel of the needle. The optimum size for spinal anesthesia is 25G,26G,27G needles.
The rationale of the currently designed study is to determine the efficacy and safety of 27G vs 25G Quincke spinal needle in prevention of PDPH in women undergoing elective caesarian section after spinal anesthesia.
