Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the block performance time between out-of-plane and in-plane approaches to ultrasound guided costoclavicular brachial plexus block for upper limb surgeries in adultsTimepoint: At time points 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 minutes during the performance of costoclavicular block

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare between the two groups the number of needle passes to obtain a complete local anaesthetic spreadTimepoint: At time points 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 minutes during the performance of ultrasound guided costoclavicular block;To compare the block success 30 minutes after the completion of the costoclavicular block between the groupsTimepoint: At time point of 30 minutes after completion of block
