Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the procedure time between both the groupsTimepoint: -Procedure time (at baseline) - From the contact of the ultrasound probe with the patient to the removal of needle | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| ComplicationsTimepoint: Complications if occur any will be observed intra-operative period;Needle passesTimepoint: During the procedure, number of times the needle required redirection or retraction of at least 10 mm for â?¥2 times will be recorded as an â??additional passâ??.;Needle visibilityTimepoint: Whole needle with tip-3 Needle course partially seen-2 Only needle impression-1 ;To compare onset of sensory & motor block in both groupsTimepoint: After LA injection, sensory & motor blockade will be evaluated by an observer every 5 min, until 30 min.;To compare success ratesTimepoint: Block success: When a minimal composite sensorimotor score of 14 is achieved, the surgeon can proceed with surgery. Block failure: Patients requiring supplemental analgesia, additional LA, general anaesthesia or having composite sensorimotor score 14 will be considered as a failure of study. | — |
