A COMPARISON BETWEEN TWO GROUPS WITH 0.5% BUPIVACAINE(LOCAL ANESTHETIC AGENT) AND 0.5% BUPIVACAINE WITH PENTAZOCINE,AN OPIOID ANALGESIC, AS AN ADDITIVE FOR POST OPERATIVE PAIN RELIEF IN UPPER LIMB SURGERY BY SUPRACLAVICULAR BRACHIAL PLEXUS NERVE BLOCK WHICH BLOCKS NERVE SUPPLY OF UPPER LIMB

Brief Summary

Aprospective,randomised,double blinded comparative study between 0.5%bupivacaine and 0.5% bupivacaine with pentazocine as an adjuvant insupraclavicular brachial plexus block for post operative analgesia in upperlimb surgery

Our objective is tocompare the intraoperative effect , hemodynamic stability and post operativeanalgesia duration  and side effects between 0.5% bupivacaine and0.5% bupivacaine with pentazocine as an adjuvent in supraclavicular brachialplexus block .

This is a hospital based,prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind,analytical  study on cohort of patients posted for elective upperlimb surgery under supra clavicular brachial plexus block in general surgeryand orthopedics operation theatre and PACU of Midnapore Medical College overthe period of 18 months

We are expecting that 0.5%bupivacaine with pentazocine as an adjuvant will increase duration of sensoryand motor blockade and will provide better analgesia than 0.5% bupivacaine alone on 70 patient posted for upper limb surgery .

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
We are expecting that 0.5% bupivacaine with pentazocine as an adjuvant will increase duration of sensory and motor blockade and will provide better analgesia than 0.5% bupivacaine alonePatient’s hemodynamic profile (like BP, heart rate, oxygen saturation etc), pain , and adverse effects will be monitored at base line, just after giving block then every 15 minutes intra operatively and every hour postoperatively for 8 hours.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1.To compare the hemodynamic changes like Heart rate(HR), Systolic Blood Pressure(SBP),Diastolic Blood Pressure(DBP),Mean Arterial Pressure(MAP) intra and post operatively
