Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the proportion of patients with complete sensory blockade at 20 min in double injection vs triple injection techniques of intertruncal approach of supraclavicular nerve blockTimepoint: 1) Post injection of local anesthetic agents 2) In postoperative anesthesia care unit	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1)Procedure time ( Imaging time and Needling time) 2)Differential motor blockade of terminal branches of brachial plexus 3)Numeric pain rating scale (NRS) at rest and on movement 4)Patient satisfaction score (0-10) 5)Patient anxiety assessment by Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS) 6)Drug spread ( Local anesthetic agents) post injection 7)Onset time and frequency of rebound pain in postoperative period 8)Diaphragmatic excursion 9)To look for incidence of side effects of supraclavicular blockTimepoint: 1) Post injection of local anesthetic agents 2) In postoperative anesthesia care unit	—
