Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
•The average time required to achieve a PI ratio = 1.4 (as an indicator of the onset of axillary brachial plexus block will be recorded)Timepoint: every 2 minutes interval till 10 minutes & 5 minutes interval till 30 minutes—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
• A change in score from 1 to 0 during the pinprick test & cold sensation method in the blocked arms index finger indicates the onset of axillary nerve block.Timepoint: every 2 minutes interval till 10 minutes & 5 minutes interval till 30 minutes;• When the score changes from 1 to 0 of finger movement will reflect the motor blockade of the blocked armTimepoint: every 2 minutes interval till 10 minutes & 5 minutes interval till 30 minutes—
