Interventions

Intervention1: ULTRASOUND GUIDED SUPRACLAVICULAR BLOCKS: ULTRASOUND GUIDED INFRACLAVICULAR BLOCKS Intervention2: Ultrasound guided supraclavicular block in hand and forearm surgeries: The primary aim

2) Onset of motor block

3) Time of achieving complete sensory block

4) Time of achieving compete motor block

The secondary aim of this study will be to compare : 1) Time taken to visualize and identify anatomy of the structures(of the area of interest) under USG guidance

2) to evaluate the block performance time as well as adverse occurrences including pneumothorax, Horners syndrome, and inadvertent vascular puncture.The study will be conducted on 120 patients.The tot
