Summary

This study compares two ways to dilute a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) for arm blocks before surgery. One uses sugar water (D5W), the other uses salt water (normal saline). Researchers want to see which helps the block work faster and last longer. About 90 adults having arm surgery will take part.
