Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To determine the time to first rescue analgesia in patients receiving adductor canal block following anterior cruciate ligament surgeryTimepoint: Post operative block placement patient will be monitored at 0,5,10,15,20,30,60 minutes followed by 2,4,6,8,12 and at 24-hour interval	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Patients will be monitored for Blood Pressure, Pulse Rate, Respiratory Rate, VAS4 at rest pain, VAS on movement (pain on flexion of knee at 45-600), first rescue analgesic requirement, total analgesic consumption, nausea, vomiting or any other complaintTimepoint: Post operative block placement patients will be monitored for BP, PR, RR, VAS4 at rest pain, VAS on movement (pain on flexion of knee at 45-60), 1.first rescue analgesic requirement, 2.total analgesic consumption, 3.nausea, vomiting or 4.any other complaint immediately after block in 0,5,10,15,20,30,60 minutes followed by 2,4,6,8,12 and at 24-hour interval	—
