23 Primary Outcome

Haemodynamic parameters (PSV, EDV, ratio of PSV and EDV (S/D), Vmean, TAVM, RI and PI) and diameter measurement will be performed in brachial artery and common palmar digital artery before the brachial plexus block, and repeated at regular intervals for 30 minutes, (5min, 10min, 20min, and 30mins) after the ultrasound guided BPB. At the same time intervals, heart rate and blood pressure will be also recorded. Skin temperature in the palmar aspect of both thumbs will be also recorded at the same time intervals. Core temperature will be also recorded at 30 min after the BPB to determine if there are any changes in core temperature during the study period.

24 Secondary Outcome

Success of the block will be defined as abolition of sensation to cold (ice) and paralysis of the muscles in the ipsilateral hand and forearm and will be assessed at the same time intervals as the haemodynamic measurements after the brachial plexus block.
