Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Increase in perfusion index from baseline after brachial plexus block indicating block success. Time-dependent change in perfusion index used to predict successful brachial plexus block. Sensitivity of perfusion index in detecting successful ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block.Timepoint: At baseline 1,3,5,10,20, and 30 minutes after block administration.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes include time to onset of sensory & motor blockade, comparison of perfusion index changes in successful versus failed blocks, & evaluation of the sensitivity & specificity of perfusion index in predicting block success.Timepoint: At baseline , 1,3,5,10,15,20, & 30minutes after block administration.
