Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Comparison of sensory blockade of median, radial, ulnar and musculocutaneous nerves in both groupsTimepoint: 5,10,15,20,25,30 minutes after nerve block—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Comparison of motor blockade of median, radial, ulnar and musculocutaneous nerves in both groupsTimepoint: 5,10,15,20,25,30 minutes after nerve block;Comparison of time taken to perform block in both groupsTimepoint: During the nerve block;Comparison of time taken to achieve sensory anaesthesia in both groupsTimepoint: 5,10,15,20,25,30 minutes after nerve block;Comparison of time taken to achieve motor blockade in both groupsTimepoint: 5,10,15,20,25,30 minutes after nerve block;Comparison of incidence of phrenic nerve palsy in each groupTimepoint: Baseline (before giving nerve block) and 30 minutes after nerve block;Assessment of patient discomfort during the procedure by VAS scoreTimepoint: During nerve block;Success or feasibilty of discovering all three trunks in selective trunk blockTimepoint: During nerve block—
