Treatment and study plan

Supraclavicular brachial plexus block

Procedure

group will receive brachial plexus block above clavicle,Injection of anaesthetic will be done in brachial plexus around subclavian artery

Retroclavicular brachial plexus block

Procedure

group will receive brachial plexus block inferior to the clavicle,injection of anaesthetic will be done around axillary artery

Primary outcomes

  1. Block success rate

    Time frame: one year

    Investigator will compare success rate of both types of block and which one is more likely to be successfully administrated

  2. Complications

    Time frame: one year

    Investigators will compare complications like pneumothorax,nerve injury,bleeding and which one is more likely to cause complications

  3. Duration of sensory and motor blockade

    Time frame: one year

    Time which each procedure will take to block sensory and motor stimuli

Secondary outcomes

  1. Duration of procedure

    Time frame: one year

    Time which took the investigator to administrate each type of block

  2. Number of needle passes

    Time frame: one year

    number of times in which needle has entered been entered into the participant in each group
