Response - NO
Brief Summary   It is a study comparing Wide awake local anaesthesia with Upper limb nerve block for hand surgeries. WALANT anaesthesia ( lidocaine+ epinephrine) injected directly at the surgical site  without tourniquet and sedation, no tourniquet removes the patient discomfort and epinephrine use minimises blood loss. it can be done in minor procedure room and requires less preparation time it is cost effective. Upper limb nerve block is a regional anaesthesia technique where anaesthetic drug is injected nerve the nerve plexus  to anaesthetise a larger field using ultrasound machine. it may require tourniquet to minimise the bleeding. patient may be awake or sedated, complication risk are higher.
