Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine versus magnesium sulphate as adjuvants to 0.5% ropivacaine in axillary brachial plexus block in hand and forearm surgeries  The effects of the block needs to be assessed at baseline, after drug administration, after 5,10,15,30,45,60,90,120,150,180 minutes and at the end of surgery 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine versus magnesium sulphate as adjuvants to 0.5% ropivacaine in axillary brachial plexus block in hand & forearm surgeries on the basis of duration of block, bromage scale, VAS score & requirement of any postop analgesia  To assess the duration of analgesia post surgery with the help of VAS score system every 2 hourly till 24 hours post surgery

Response - NO
Brief Summary   It is a prospective , randomized, double blinded comparative study to camparethe efficacy of dexmedetomidine versus magnesium sulphate as adjuvants to 0.5% ropivacaine in axillary brachial plexus block in hand and forearm surgeries.

The parameters  that need to be studied are the onset and duration of motor and sensory blockade and the time at which rescue analgesia is required.
