Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measurement of movement was performed by the operating surgeon who was unaware of the anaesthetic technique used in all four quadrants (inferior, superior, redial, lateral) using a vernier calliper and scored according to movement: 0 = no movement 1 = movement of less than 2 mm 2 = movement of more than 2 mm Motor function was evaluated at two time intervals, 3 and 6 minutes after the initial injection. Overall movement score was obtained by combining the scores of these four muscles. This score ranged from 0 (no movement) to 8 (complete movement) and was categorised into two groups, akinesia (score 0 - 4) and no akinesia (score 5 - 8). All measured during the surgery. | — |
