Brief Summary
The aim of the study was to investigate whether a color changing nail polish would be an indicator to assess infraclavicular brachial plexus block success based on skin temperature differences before and after performed the block.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Differences in the color of nail polish
The photographs showing if there is the reaction of color of nail polish will be assessed after study completion by independent observers. They will be asked to compare the colors of nail polish before and after block performance in both hands and to rate the difference based on a three-point scale (0: absolutely no difference, 1: I am not sure, 2: indisputable difference).
30 minutes
Interventions
The determination of color change in nail polish will be based on differences in skin temperature before and after the block.
