What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of selective truncal blocks using varying doses and volumes of local anesthetic for anesthesia in patients undergoing surgeries of the hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow. The primary focus is on the onset times of motor and sensory blocks, with successful anesthesia defined as the completion of surgery under regional anesthesia. Secondary outcomes will assess motor block duration, analgesia duration, and potential complications associated with the procedure.
