- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the analgesic efficacy of perineural dexamethasone as an adjuvant in supraclavicular block versus intravenous dexamethasone and paracetamol after supraclavicular block in patients undergoing forearm surgeries.Timepoint: After administration of the block, comparison between the two groups of onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade, duration of analgesia and time to rescue to analgesia will be assessed at baseline, after injection of study drug, at 5 mins, 10 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins and 10 mins after surgery.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the analgesic efficacy of perineural dexamethasone as an adjuvant in supraclavicular block versus intravenous dexamethasone & paracetamol after supraclavicular block in patients undergoing forearm surgeries.Timepoint: Duration of analgesia will be assessed post surgery once the effects of the block decrease & time to rescue to analgesia will be assessed 2 hours after surgery & hourly until intervention is required
