Brief Summary

brachial plexus block provides anaesthesia  upper limb surgery ,out of which infraclavicular costoclavicular approach has become convenient & safe method to block all three cords at single site {because they share consistent relationship with each other at this space clustered together lateral to axillary artery ). onset time is one of the important consideration for choosing local anaesthetics , to hasten block onset higher concentrations of LA were used ,however diluted LA are safer .

ropivacaine has shown to have earlier onset than bupivacaine at  equipotent doses , but it is expensive .To hasten onset of bupivacaine lignocaine with adrenaline is added

there are no studies comparing the above mentioned drug onset time , hence we compare the onset time of bupivacaine and ropivacaine in ultrasound guided costoclavicular block for unilateral upper limb surgeries below mid arm level
