Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Costoclavicular and Suprascapular block  Under ultrasound guidance 22G needle will be advanced in the middle of the three cords of brachial plexus in the costoclavicular space using in plane technique. 18ml of 0.5% ropivacaine + 1mcg/kg dexmedetomidine will be injected. Another 22G needle will be inserted underneath the omohyoid muscle at the supraclavicular fossa and 7ml of 0.5% ropivacaine+1mcg/kg dexmedetomidine is injected. The patient will be followed up till 24 hours after the surgery.  
Intervention  Interscalene block  Using ultrasound guidance 22G needle will be inserted using in-plane technique within the interscalene groove in between the anterior and middle scalene muscles and 25ml of 0.5% ropivacaine with 1mcg/kg of dexmedetomidine will be given. The patient will be followed up till 24 hours after the surgery.

Brief Summary   Title of the project - "A Prospective randomised study comparing the effectiveness of ultrasound guided costoclavicular + suprascapular nerve block with interscalene block in patients undergoing upper arm and shoulder orthopaedic surgeries."
Objectives of the study:
Primary objectives:
1. To compare the difference in the time of onset and duration of sensory blockade between the two groups.
2. To compare the difference in time of onset and duration of motor blockade between the two groups.
Secondary objectives:
1. To compare analgesic consumption intraoperatively and postoperatively in the first 24 hours between the two groups.
2. To compare intra and postoperative hemodynamic changes if any.
3. To assess and compare patient satisfaction score after the surgery between the two groups.
4. To compare complications and adverse effects if any, between these two block techniques.
5. To compare incidence of failure rate between the two groups.

As according to the previous studies, costoclavicular block is safe in patients with pneumothorax and costoclavicular block when combined with suprascapular nerve block will result in more complete anaesthetic coverage of the shoulder joint . While interscalene block is often associated with hemi diaphragmatic paresis due to close proximity of phrenic nerve. However, limited studies are available that compare the effectiveness of combined costoclavicular and suprascapular brachial plexus block with interscalene block in upper arm and shoulder orthopaedic surgeries. Hence we decided to compare these ultrasound guided nerve blocks in terms of efficacy and quality of block, requirement of intra operative analgesia and post-operative analgesia and patient satisfaction score in patients undergoing upper arm and shoulder orthopaedic surgeries.
