Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Comparison of efficacy of costoclavicular brachial plexus block versus supraclavicular brachial plexus block for forearm and hand surgeries for providing surgical anesthesia and post operative analgesia by evaluating: (a) The time of onset and duration of analgesia in both groups (b) The level of sensory and motor blockade. (c) Nerve sparing effect Timepoint: intraoperative and postoperative upto 24 hours

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate: 1. Requirement of additional analgesic or sedation intraoperatively in both groups 2. the time and number of rescue analgesics administered postoperatively 3. any side effects. Timepoint: intraoperative, postoperative upto 24 hours
