• Study Type: Interventional
• Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To compare the ergonomics of two approaches (conventional and modified <br/ ><br>parasagittal) in ultrasound-guided subclavian perivascular brachial plexus block in <br/ ><br>terms of the time taken to optimize the ultrasound image (duration of scanning) and <br/ ><br>time required to perform the block (duration of the procedure).Timepoint: During the performance of blocks and after the procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To compare <br/ ><br>1. Visibility of anatomical structures (pleura, first rib, sheath and elements of <br/ ><br>brachial plexus, subclavian artery, transverse cervical or dorsal scapular artery) <br/ ><br>2. Onset of sensory and motor blocks <br/ ><br>3. Sparing of the nerve(s) between the two groups <br/ ><br>4. Requirement for supplemental blocks between the two groups <br/ ><br>5. Duration of the block <br/ ><br>6. Comfort of the patient while performing the block <br/ ><br>7. Complications (if any)Timepoint: during and after the block
