Background: Upper limb surgeries can be performed by the administration of general anaesthesia or regional nerve blocks. Brachial Plexus Block either conventional or Ultrasound-guided is preferred to general anaesthesia.
Aim and Objectives: This study was designed to compare the conventional paresthesia technique with an ultrasound-guided approach for supraclavicular brachial plexus block with regard to the onset and duration of sensory and motor block, success rate, and incidence of complications.
Methods: The study was conducted in the operation theatre complex in Alluri Sitarama Raju Academy of Medical Sciences (ASRAM) over a period of one year, from January 2022 to December 2022.
Results: Ultrasound-group had a significantly longer duration of motor block and sensory block when compared to the conventional approach.
