Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Time duration of analgesia following administration of block shall be assessed in terms of: time after administration of the single shot brachial plexus block- till the time when the patient complains of pain.Timepoint: After administration of anaesthetic agent, the patient shall undergo surgery. The presence or absence of pain at the surgical site shall be noted every hour following administration of block- till 6 hours following the block, or till the patient complains of pain- whichever occurs earlier.

Secondary
