- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Primary aim of this study will be to determine the efficacy of individual nerve blocks using blunt versus short bevel needle under ultrasound guidance for placement of supraclavicular brachial block for below elbow surgeries. Assuming that establishment of sensory and motor block occurs in 30 minutes and show a difference of 5.0 minutes will be significant for successful surgical block. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: 02 years
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Block performance time, procedure related pain, ideal block evaluation time, nerve block supplementation and early neurological sequelTimepoint: 02 years
