Atropine Versus Glycopyrrolate in Preventing Spinal Anesthesia Induced Hypotension in Lower Limb Surgeries

Summary

A study to compare between intravenous atropine and glycopyrrolate in preventing spinal anesthesia induced hypotension in patients undergoing major lower limb orthopedic surgeries. Hypotension is the most common complication in spinal anesthesia that can be life threatening. If this can be prevented patients comfort can be increased and satisfaction as well.
