To explore the patient’s preference of position for induction of spinal anaesthesia with relation to the demographic profile, 200 patients were selected for this study with the inclusion and exclusion criterias. Ethical committee approval and informed consent were obtained. Patients were informed about the proposed position for the procedure during the pre-anesthetic visit. Patients were given adequate time to choose the choice of position. They were given structured survey questionnaire (as used in the previous study) composed of these sections:(a) demographic data (like sex, age, socioeconomic status and educational level) and clinical data. (b) Patient’s preference of choice of position for spinal anaesthesia. Majority of the patients preferred to have lateral decubitus position for the induction of spinal anaesthesia.
