Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To analyse the sensory conduction blockade at different local anaesthetic volume by a qualitative scale 2. To analyse the motor conduction blockade at different local anaesthetic volume by a qualitative scale 3. To measure the success rate at the end of 30 mins (composite conduction blockade score 16/16) during blockade with different local anaesthetic volume . Timepoint: 1. To assess the degree of sensory & motor conduction blockade every 10 minutes till 30 minutes using 3 point qualitative scale 2. To identify number of patients achieving complete conduction blockade at the end of 30 minutes (Total composite score 16/16)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To measure the success rate at the end of 30 mins (composite conduction blockade score 20/20) during blockade with different local anaesthetic volume . Timepoint: To measure the success rate at the end of 30 mins (composite conduction blockade score 20/20) during blockade with different local anaesthetic volume .
