Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade of dexmedetomidine versus fentanyl as an adjuvant to ropivacaine in axillary block in patients undergoing forearm surgeriesTimepoint: After administering the block, comparison between the two groups of onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade, duration of analgesia will be assessed at baseline, after injection of study drug at 5 mins, 10 mins, 30 mins and 10 mins after surgery	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Compare the duration of postoperative analgesia & observe the side effects of dexmedetomidine & fentanyl as an adjuvant to ropivacaine in axillary block in patients undergoing forearm surgeriesTimepoint: Duration of analgesia will be assessed post surgery once the effects of the block decrease & time of rescue to analgesia will be assessed 2 hours after surgery & hourly until intervention is required	—
