Comparator Agent  0.5% Ropivacaine , Fentanyl  26 ml of these drugs -25ml of Ropivacaine + 1ml of NS in one group and 25ml of Ropivacaine + 1ml of fentanyl will be given in the other group in Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block in patients undergoing upper limb 
Intervention  Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block   Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block will be performed using the local anaesthetic agent of 26 ml (25 ml 0.5% Ropivacaine + 1ml fentanyl) which will be injected bolus, under landmark guided blind technique for the purpose of providing regional anaesthesia in patients undergoing elective upper limb surgeries and the effect of the drug will be observed 24 hours post-operatively .

Brief Summary   In order to prolong the duration of major nerve blocks, several adjuvants have been used such as epinephrine , bicarbonates, opioids, clonidine and neostigmine . There has always been search for ideal adjuvant with lesser side effects. Fentanyl , an opiod agonist, have been used in combination with bupivacaine or ropivacaine to enhance the analgesic efficacy of the drugs and also to facilitate early onset & prolongation of the block effect . There are limited studies comparing the use of ropivacaine with fentanly . Conisdering the minimal side effects and good postoperative analgesic efficacy , We made an attempt to compare the clinical characteristics of Ropivacaine with fentanyl as adjuvant in supraclavicular brachial plexus block among patients undergoing  upper limb surgeries . With the primary aim to compare the efficacy of 0.5 % Ropivacaine and 0.5% Ropivacaine with fentanyl in supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block in terms of  - (1) Onset of sensory and motor block 
(2) Duration and Quality of sensory and motor block (3) Duration of post-operative analgesia & the secondary aim to observe the hemodynamic variables , to observe for side effects & observe surgeons and patients satisfaction .
