14 Medical Condition Being Studied

Musculoskeletal disease of the upper limb that require surgery under regional anesthesia

15Intervention

i Types of intervention

Procedure

Please specify

ii Description/ name of Intervention/article

Ultrasound guided Costoclavicular Brachial Plexus block - single or multiple injection

iii Dosage form of the intervention

not a pharmaceutical study

iv Dosage of the intervention

not a pharmaceutical study

v Duration of the intervention

1 hour

vi Frequency of the intervention

once before operation

16Comparative Treatments

i Description/ name of comparative treatments

This is a randomized study that will recruit subjects in Hong Kong and Thailand, and there is a 50:50 chance of getting either one injection at the center of the three cords (Brachial plexus) via single skin puncture (Single injection) or have a single skin puncture and then the needle will be redirected under ultrasound guidance to inject the local anaesthetic close to each cord (a total of 3 cords) (Multiple injections). Multiple injections are expected to provide more rapid onset of surgical anesthesia and a higher proportion of patient achieving complete block than a single injection.

ii Dosage form of the comparative treatments

Not a pharmaceutical study

iii Dosage of the comparative treatments

Not a pharmaceutical study

iv Duration of the comparative treatments

1 hour

v Frequency of the comparative treatments

once before operation

21 Target Sample Size

total 90 cases - as per randomisation sequence at the two centres.

22 Recruitment Status

Complete

23Primary Outcome

iThe Name of the outcome

The proportion of patient achieving complete block (both sensory score = 0 and motor score = 0)

iiThe metric or method of measurement used

Sensory blockage (0-100), 100= normal sensation to cold, 0=no sensation to cold. Motorl blockade (3-point scale): 2=normal, 1=paresis, 0=paralysis.

iiiThe timepoint(s) of primary interest

At regular intervals for 50 minutes (5 min, 10min, 15min, 20min, 30min, 45min) after the block

24Secondary Outcome

iThe Name of the outcome

the time to complete blockade and time to readiness for surgery (sensory score ≤ 30 and motor score ≤ 1), block performance time, incidence of paresthesia during performing the block & complication of the technique; degree of discomfort experience by patient during injection

iiThe metric or method of measurement used

Paresthesia (yes or no), & degree of discomfort (NRS: 0-100) experience by the patient during the injection.

iiiThe timepoint(s) of primary interest

After the block
