Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the addition of intermittent pneumatic compression maneuver to axillary brachial plexus block in forearm and hand surgery. Half of participants will receive axillary brachial plexus block and intermittent pneumatic compression maneuver, while the other half will receive only axillary brachial plexus block.
