Brief Summary

Effective post-operative pain control can reduce patient morbidity and affect the patient outcome. Brachial plexus block is one of them, a popular and widely employed regional nerve block technique for perioperative anesthesia and analgesia for surgery of the upper extremity. Different drugs have been used as adjuvants with local anesthetics in brachial plexus block to achieve quick, dense and prolonged block like Morphine, Pethidine, Clonidine, Dexmedetomidine. Naloxone is opioid antagonists which could selectively block the excitatory effects of opioids. it release endorphins and also displace endorphins from receptor site .it also reduce the opioid induced side effects, such as vomiting, nausea, pruritus, and respiratory depression.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Effect of ultra-low dose naloxone on the post operative opioid

    by estimate the analgesic requirements of opioids and the interval between each opioid dose in 48 hour post operative

    for 48 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Duration of sensory block

    For 48 hours after surgery

  • Duration of motor block

    For 48 hours after surgery

  • Onset time of sensory block

    For 48 hours after surgery

  • Onset time of motor block

    For 48 hours after surgery

  • Severity of post-operative pain

    For 48 hours after surgery

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Bupivacaine plus naloxone

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients will receive brachial plexus block using bupivacaine plus naloxone.

Drug: Bupivacaine plus naloxone

Bupivacaine

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Patients will receive brachial plexus block using bupivacaine.

Drug: Bupivacaine

Interventions

Patients received 20 mL bupivacaine 0.5% plus 100 ng naloxone (1ml) in 2ml saline.(naloxone ampoule 0.4mg will dilute in 400ml of saline then 1ml of it will dilute in 10 ml saline, so each ml will have 100ng naloxone)

Bupivacaine plus naloxone

Patients will be injected ultrasound guided in their brachial plexus by 20 mL bupivacaine 0.5% plus 3 ml of saline

Bupivacaine
