Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

This is a randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of different doses of Dexmedetomidine when combined with Ropivacaine in supraclavicular brachial plexus block among 50 patients posted for upper limb surgeries over a period of 18 months. The primary objective is to compare the duration of analgesia post-operatively. The secondary outcomes are to assess the onset and duration of sensorimotor block, peri operative analgesic requirement, sedation score and hemodynamic stability.
