“A COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF THE EFFICACY BETWEEN 0.5% BUPIVACAINE WITH 2% LIGNOCAINE AND ADRENALINE AND 0.5% LEVOBUPIVACAINE WITH 2% LIGNOCAINE AND ADRENALINE FOR SUPRACLAVICULAR BRACHIAL PLEXUS BLOCK IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING BELOW SHOULDER ORTHOPAEDIC SUR

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of two local anesthetic combinations, 0.5% Bupivacaine with 2% Lignocaine and Adrenaline (Group A), and 0.5% Levobupivacaine with 2% Lignocaine and Adrenaline (Group B), for supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries. The primary outcomes assessed were the onset time, block duration, block quality, complications, and patient satisfaction.
