Interventions

Intervention1: Supraclavicular Block: USG guided Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus block with 0.75% Ropivacaine 10ml, Lignocaine with Adrenaline 2% 10ml and 4mg Dexamethasone, after negative aspiration.

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria: Informed consent of patient obtained. Patients undergoing forearm and hand surgeries under regional anaesthesia Age group 18-70 years ASA grade 1,2,3

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the onset time of sensory blockade of costoclavicular Brachial Plexus Block with supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block between 2 groups of patients (satisfying inclusion criteria) undergoing forearm and hand surgeries.Timepoint: Immediate after intervention, and every 3 minute interval for 30 mins ( at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30mins) after intervention.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the duration of analgesiaTimepoint: Pain will be assessed using the NRS scale where patients will be asked to rate the pain they feel post operatively within a scale of 0-10. 0 being no pain, 10 being intolerable pain. It will be assessed immediately in the post-operative period and at an interval of 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours, postoperatively.;To compare overall patient satisfactionTimepoint: Patients will be asked for their overall satisfaction after the procedure and asked to rate between 0 and 2. 0 being not satisfied, 1 being satisfied, 2 being highly satisfied	—
