Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  GROUP A- ADDITION OF NEOSTIGMINE TO ISOBARIC 0.25% BUPIVACAINE   GROUP A- 0.25% Bupivacaine 35mg (14ml) with Neostigmine 250 mcg (1ml) is given. Onset of sensory block to level C5-T1 dermatome (hollmans scale grade2), onset of motor blockade to Bromage scale 1,regression of sensory(hollmans scale grade1), return of motor activity to Bromage 0 level and total duration of analgesia will be recorded 
Comparator Agent  GROUP B- ADDITION OF FENTANYL TO ISOBARIC 0.25% BUPIVACAINE  GROUP B- 0.25% Bupivacaine 35mg (14ml) with Fentanyl 50 mcg (1ml) is given. Onset of sensory block to level C5-T1 dermatome (hollmans scale grade2), onset of motor blockade to Bromage scale 1,regression of sensory(hollmans scale grade1), return of motor activity to Bromage 0 level and total duration of analgesia will be recorded 
Intervention  USG GUIDED SUPRACLAVICULAR BRACHIAL PLEXUS BLOCK   Place the ultrasound probe in the supraclavicular fossa in a transverse orientation, to visualize the brachial plexus near the subclavian artery. Insert a block needle in-plane from posterior to anterior and lateral to medial aiming for the deep portion of the brachial plexus where it overlies the first rib. Confirm negative aspiration then inject a small amount of local anesthetic with the goal of raising the plexus off of the first rib. Advance the needle along the first rib to the anterior aspect of the plexus, adjacent to the subclavian artery. Confirm negative aspiration, then inject the remaining drug with repeated negative aspiration and confirm by hydrodissection.

Brief Summary   This study is  designed to  
  1. To find out the comparative efficacy of bupivacaine with fentanyl vs bupivacaine with neostigmine for onset, duration of sensory and motor block with duration of analgesia.

  2. To observe side effects of drugs among the different groups.


 Fentanyl  has been used for regional nerve plexus blocks to improve the block duration and quality. The peripheral administration of opioids provides effective and long lasting analgesia without central side effects.Studies have shown better block duration and success rate of brachial plexus block on addition of fentanyl. Whereas neostigmine decreases the breakdown of acetylcholine by its inhibitory action on acetylcholinesterase, preclinical data suggests peripheral anti-nociceptive effects of acetylcholine due to its accumulation, resulting prolongation of nerve block with hemodynamic stability.

We hypothesized that peripheral nerve block with isobaric 0.25% bupivacaine and Fentanyl would be comparable to isobaric 0.25% bupivacaine and Neostigmine for the efficacy of anesthesia and analgesia, and in addition would provide a better postoperative recovery profile and readiness for discharge.
