Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the accuracy of Vibratip vibration sense testing in predicting adequate anaesthesia by assessing the loss of vibration sensation during surgery.Timepoint: 0,5,10,15,20,25&30 minutes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the accuracy of conventional sensory tests pinprick, pressure, and cold sensation in evaluating the level of anaesthesia following supraclavicular block, and to compare these findings with vibration sense testing.Timepoint: 0,5,10,15,20,25&30 minutes
