Summary
This study looked at 120 adults having arm or hand surgery to compare two anesthesia methods: a nerve block that numbs only the arm versus general anesthesia that puts you completely asleep. Researchers measured pain after surgery, patient satisfaction, side effects like nausea, and how quickly patients could go home. The goal is to help doctors and patients choose the best option for upper extremity surgery.
