Secondary Outcome |
Onset of sensory block : After injection of the solution (time zero) every patient was checked in the following times: 0, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes for onset of sensory blockade using pinprick test using the following scale (three-point scale):
• 0 points = pinprick perceived as painful (normal sensation),
• 1 point = analgesia to pinprick,
• 2 points = anesthesia to pinprick (no perception)
Duration of sensory block (hr): It's the time from sensory block onset to time of restoration of sensation at the surgical site.
Onset of motor block : After injection of the total dose of LA (time zero) every patient was checked in the following times: 0, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes for onset of motor blockade using the following scale:
• 0 points = no paresis
• 1 point = paresis,
• 2 points = complete paralysis
Duration of motor block (hr) :It's the time from motor block onset to restoration of global mobility in the elbow, hand and the wrist. Success rate: identified as complete sensory and motor block. Duration of Surgery and Complications: such as chest discomfort, Horner's syndrome, voice changes and pneumothorax. |
