Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The severity of tourniquet pain during surgery. Timepoint: Immediately after tourniquet inflation, and then every 5 min until the end of surgery. Method of measurement: Using a 5-point verbal rating scale (VRS) consisting of; 0 =no pain, 1= mild pain, 2=moderate pain, 3= severe pain, 4=unbearable pain.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Block performance time. Timepoint: The time taken from the beginning to the end of the local anesthetic injection. Method of measurement: The interval between the beginning to the end of local anesthetic injection in minutes.;Anesthetic effect time. Timepoint: Time required from the end of local anesthetic injection to achieve adequate anesthesia. Method of measurement: The interval between the end of local anesthetic injection and block success required for surgical anesthesia in minutes.;The total doses of fentanyl and ketamine administered. Timepoint: During surgery. Method of measurement: Intravenous boluses of fentanyl (µg) or ketamine (mg) given during surgery are recorded and the total dose given for each drug is calculated.	—
