Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Onset time and duration of sensory and motor block assessed using pinprick test and Modified Bromage scale in the radial, median, and ulnar nerve distributionsTimepoint: Onset assessed every minute from completion of local anaesthetic injection until full block achieved intraoperatively; duration assessed at 30 minute intervals post-procedure until complete recovery, up to 24 hours after block—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Time to first request for rescue analgesia, requirement for rescue analgesia in the first 24 hours, Visual Analogue Scale pain scores, and incidence of block-related complications including vascular puncture, pneumothorax, or nerve injuryTimepoint: Pain scores recorded at 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively; rescue analgesia requirement monitored throughout the first 24 hours; complications noted intraoperatively and during the postoperative 24-hour observation period—
