Brief Summary   This randomised double blinded controlled study aims to compare the two doses of Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to Bupivacaine 0.5% in USG guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block.A total of 60 Patients will be enrolled and divided in to three groups.
The primary outcome will be assessed by hemodynamic parameters like HR,SBP,DBP,MAP,SPO2 at baseeline and at every 5mins for 1hour and 15mins till completion of surgery.The secondary outcome will be assessed using Pinprick method,modified bromage scsle,Sedation score,VAS score,complications like local anaaesthesia toxicity,phrenic nerve palsy,subcutaneous emphysema and pneumothorax.The goal is to evaluate comparison of efficacy of analgesia in two doses of Dexmedetomidine to Bupivacaine in upper limb surgeries
