Evaluation of the accuracy of vibration sense with VibraTipTM as a tool to determine the level of anesthesia following subarachnoid block and its correlation with the pinprick sensation

Conclusion: Vibration sense serves as a reliable indicator to assess the level of surgical anesthesia following SAB. Vibration sense testing with VibraTipTM along with motor power assessment can be used as a tool for assessment of level of block. There is a poor correlation between level of vibration sense and pinprick.
