This prospective randomized double-blinded controlled trial will include 60 pediatric patients aged 1 - 6 years old, both sexes, with American society of anesthesiologists (I and II) and undergoing elective infra-umbilical surgeries with anticipated duration ≤ 90 minutes. Patients will be randomly divided into two equal groups: Weight-based dosing (Group A) and age-based dosing group (Group B). Both groups will receive hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5%. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using age based dosing of Bupivacaine compared with standard method of weight based dosing in pediatric spinal anesthesia.
