Ketamine
. Standard monitoring procedures will include pulse oximetry, electrocardiography, and noninvasive arterial pressure prior to anesthetic induction. All patients will be premedicate antibiotic prophylaxis, according to the hospital's protocol. Anesthesia will be induced with intrathecal bupivacaine 10mg and ,1 mg/kg ketamine added in group A under sterile condition
