Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Sixty patients 18-80 yr old American Society of Anesthesiologists ( ASA) physical status I or II, scheduled for femur surgery under spinal anesthesia, were studied in a prospective, double-blinded, randomized way. The patients were randomly allocated to one of two groups of 30 each. The neostigmine group (groupN received bupivacaine 20mg combined with 25 microgram neostigmin ,and The placebo group (group P) received bupivacaine 20 mg combined with 0.5ml distilled water(intrathecally) for each two groups 5 minutes prior to surgery).

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 290111 0
Time to first requirement of analgesic supplement(analgesic administration was initiated by patient request(verbal rating scale[ VRS]>4)
Timepoint [1] 290111 0
Time to first requirement of analgesic supplement from the time of injection intrathecal anesthetic solution
Primary outcome [2] 290112 0
Duration of Sensory block will be assessed by a pinprick test
Timepoint [2] 290112 0
The duration of sensory block was defined as the time between the end of injection of the intrathecal anesthetic and the reappearance of sensation at the T10 dermatome(sensory block will be assessed by pinprick test every 5minutes following intrathecal injection
Primary outcome [3] 290113 0
Duration of motor block (the time from intrathecal injection to Bromage score 0 will be assessed by the modified Bromage score (0, no motor loss; 1, inability to flex the hip; 2, inability to flex the knee; and 3, inability to flex the ankle)
Timepoint [3] 290113 0
The time from intrathecal injection to Bromage score 0( motor block will be assessed by the modified Bromage score every 5 minuts following intrathecal injection)
Secondary outcome [1] 303967 0
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure is assessed by nonivasive automatic blood pressure measurement
Timepoint [1] 303967 0
5min before the intrathecal injection,and at 2, 4, 6,8, 10, 15,20 min after the injection
Secondary outcome [2] 304093 0
Adverse effects such as vomiting,pruritus
Timepoint [2] 304093 0

Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Enrollment is decided and permission of the patient is obtained by two of the anesthesiologists during preoperative rounding,.This is a double blinded clinical trial, with blinding of both the patient and the administrating practitioner to the anaesthetic type. Allocation will be managed by a Resident external to the project. The blinding will occur through use of equal amounts of pretreatment drugs (4.5ml’s) Each syringe will be labeled A ,B according to its contents. . The drug syringes are handed over to anesthesiologists blinded to the patient allocation to carry out the spinal of anesthesia
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomization was based on computer-generated codes
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
