Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The primary aim of the study will be to compare efficacy between the both Techniques of the supraclavicular approach of brachial plexus block in terms of-
Time taken for block
Time of onset
Quality of sensory and motor blockade
Duration of analgesia
Failure rate 
3 MINUTES TO 2 HOURS 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Ultrasound guided supra clavicular brachial plexus block will have better block characteristics than peripheral nerve stimulator in Upper limb surgeries.
Ultrasound guided supra clavicular brachial plexus blocks will have more block duration than peripheral nerve stimulator in Upper limb surgeries .
Ultrasound guided supra clavicular brachial plexus block will have minimal complications like pneumothorax etc
