To Determine Minimum Effective Volume Of Local Anaesthetic In 50% (MEAV50%)Patients Using Dixons Up And Down Method For Ultrasound Guided SUPRACLAVICULAR BRACHIAL PLEXUS BLOCK:ONE YEAR HOSPITAL BASED CLINICAL STUDY

Conditions
Fracture of upper end of radius,
Registration Number
CTRI/2021/04/032683
Lead Sponsor
Department of ananesthesiology
Brief Summary

This study will help to find the minimum effective volume of local anaesthetic required for an ultrasound guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block. It helps to prevent the toxicity caused by local anesthetic since lesser volume of drugs are used in subsequent successful cases . This study uses the Dixons up and down method for deciding the volume of the drug. Hence depending on the result of the previous case the subsequent case receives a predetermined volume of drug i,e. 2ml decrease in the volume if the previous case is successful or 2ml increase if the block fails.
