Spinal anesthesia is one of the commonest choices of anesthesia for infraumbilical surgeries.The use of sedation has markedly increased patients' comfort and acceptance towards spinal anesthesia. The aim of this study is to investigate visual, recall, auditory recall, and sedation scores among patients receiving Midazolam for sedation during spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries.
Spinal anesthesia is one of the commonest choices of anesthesia for infraumbilical surgeries.The use of sedation has markedly increased patients' comfort and acceptance towards spinal anesthesia. The main goals of sedation for surgeries under spinal anesthesia are patient comfort, preservation of protective airway reflexes, and the help in the maintenance of hemodynamic stability during the surgical procedure. The aim of this study is to investigate visual, recall, auditory recall, and sedation scores among patients receiving Midazolam for sedation during spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries.

Induction of neuraxial anesthesia was done using 2.8cc of 0.5 % Heavy Bupivacaine and 20mcg fentanyl injected intrathecally for all patients. Supplemental oxygen was given via facemask with capnography monitoring. Group O received 0.025mg/kg midazolam at skin incision.

Postoperative recall of auditory stimuli and intraoperative noise
For auditory recall, a question was asked by the surgeon to the patient at maximum stimulation. Patients were examined for auditory recall by following-up the patients postoperatively in the inpatient department.
Time frame: 4 months
Postoperative recall of visual stimuli
For visual recall, a picture of a horse assigned at maximum stimulation, a cat at recovery room, and a bird after discharge to the inpatient department. Patients were examined for visual recall by following-up the patients postoperatively in the inpatient department.
Time frame: 4 months
