Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the axillary brachial plexus block success by correlating perfusion index with hemodynamic parametersTimepoint: Monitoring perfusion index at baseline,1 minute after block, 3 minutes after block, 5 minutes after block,10 minutes after block and monitoring systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure at baseline, 1 minute after block, 3 minutes after block, 5 minutes after block, 10 minutes after block, intra operatively at the time of skin incision,5 minutes after skin incision.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the axillary brachial plexus block success by correlating perfusion index with post operative Modified Objective Pain Scale.Timepoint: The patients will be evaluated for post operative pain using the MOPS scale at 30 minutes after shifting to PACU.
