Brief Summary   In this study patient who will  be fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be assesed preoperatively and all investigation will be noted. on the day of surgery procedure will be explained to the patient  and conset will be taken. peri operative vitals will be noted. all patient would be premedicated with ondensetron (0.15 mg/kg) 15-30 min prior to block. following skin preparation brachial plexus block will be performed under ultrasonographic technique using stimuplex needle after negative aspiration of air and blood, drug will be injected & proper spread of drug around plexus is continuosly evaluated. brachial plexus block will be performed on group BD (n=30) with 35 ml 0.375% bupivacaine +50 microgram dexmetedomine(1mcg/kg) while group BF (n=30) would receive block with 35ml 0.375% bupivacaine and fentanyl 75 microgram (1.5 mcg).
ONSET OF SENSORY BLOCK- it will be time taken from the end of injection to the first no response to pinprick in the distribution of any three sensory nerve in hand
sensory score
0 normal sensation to pin prick
1 dull sensation to pin prick
2 no sensation to pin prick
ONSET OF MOTOR BLOCK-it will be time from injection until onset of complete loss of motor power
motor score
0 normal motor function with full flexion and extension elbow,wrist and finger
1 decreased motor strength with  ability to move fingers only
2 complete motor blockade with inablity to move fingers
Duration of sensory block (the time taken between onset of sensory block and appearance of pain requiring analgesia ) Duration of motor block (time taken between onset of motor block to complete return of motor power) will be recorded. pain will be assessed  using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) where 0=no pain and 10=worst imaginable pain . good pain relief is defined as VAS<4 ,once this score is reached ,rescue analgesic inj Tramadol (1.5mg/kg) iv will be given. in post operative period heart rate, blood pressure ,VAS, Ramsay sedation score,time taken for first rescue analgesic will be recorded at 2,6,12,18,24 hrs postoperatively
