Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the efficacy onset of sensory and motor block , duration of sensory and motor block following administration of study drug in ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block.Timepoint: to document sensory and motor block at Baseline, every 5 minutes until onset of blockade, intraoperatively, then hourly until complete recovery from blockade.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the Duration of analgesia, time to first rescue analgesic, total rescue analgesic consumption in 24 hours, hemodynamic parameters (heart rate & mean arterial pressure measured at baseline, 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 minutes & intraoperatively), block quality assessment using sensory (pinprick method) & motor block grading, & incidence of adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, hypotension, & local anesthetic toxicity.Timepoint: Baseline, 05,10,15,20,30,60,90,120 min intraoperatively.—
