To evaluate the use of perfusion index in predicting successful supraclavicular brachial plexus block in upper limb surgeries

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Medical and Surgical,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2021/02/031153
• Lead Sponsor: SMS Medical College and Attached Hospitals

Brief Summary

This study is designed to investigate whether perfusion index (PI), a measure of peripheral perfusion from a pulse oximetry finger sensor, is a reliable and objective method for assessing the adequacy of supraclavicular blockade and to describe the time course of PI changes once peripheral nerve block has been achieved during surgery.
