Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the effects of ultrasound guided supraclavicular block of brachial plexus block with 0.5% ropivacaine and 0.5% bupivacaine in equal doses on pulmonary function test using SpirometerTimepoint: The Pulmonary function test will be performed at Preoperatively(Baseline), 15 minutes and 30minutes after the Supraclavicular brachial plexus block and at 3rd and 6 th hour post operatively	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the sensory and motor blockade characteristics between the two drugsTimepoint: The sensory blockade will be assessed every 2 minutes for the first 15minutes and every 5 minutes till next 15minutes. The motor block will be assessed every 5 minutes till 30 minutes. The patient will be shifted to the Operation theatre after 30minutes and will be connected to the standard ASA monitor.	—
