Response - NO
Brief Summary    Written informed consent will be taken in the local language. Patient will be randomized using computer generated random number sequence methods in two groups Group A- Injection Bupivacaine(0.375%)29cc +Injection Normal saline 1cc Group B-Injection Bupivacaine(0.375%)29cc +Injection Nalbuphine(10mg)1cc. After shifting the patient to the pre operative care room, 18 G intravenous catheter is inserted on non operative hand by an anaesthesia resident. Standard monitoring will be applied which includes Non invasive blood pressure(NIBP),Electrocardiographic monitoring,Heart Rate,Pulse oximeter(SPO2). Local sensitivity testing will be done. The study drug should be prepared and coded by an anaesthesiologist not involved in the study. Anaesthesiologist other than Principal investigator will perform the brachial plexus block and PI will be, responsible for monitoring of the patient. So, PI will remain blinded for the study.The onset and time to reach peak sensory & motor blockade, haemodynamic changes, regression time for sensory and motor block, duration of analgesic effect, side effect will be recorded by PI.In the operation theatre, supraclavicular block will be performed with the aid of Nerve locator (Stimuplex by B. Braun Melsungen, Germany). A 22-gauge insulated needle (Pole injector), 50 mm long, will be connected to the other pole with an alligator clamp. The plexus will be located using the supraclavicular approach. The current will be initially set to deliver 1.0 milli amperes at 2Hz stimulation frequency.End of the injection will be taken as Time ’O’. Immediately after the block, sensory and motor characteristics of blockade, hemodynamic variables, SpO2 shall be assessed by the Principal Investigator at 1,5,10,20,30 minutes and then at hourly interval till offset of sensory and motor blockade and then at four hourly interval for 24 hours. Sensory block will be assessed by pinprick test using the blunt end of a 23-gauge needle at each minute after completion of drug injection in the dermatomal areas corresponding to median nerve, ulnar nerve, radial nerve and musculocutaneous nerve till complete blockade.
