Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The patients who will receive an infraclavicular nerve block for upper extremity surgery, will be included into the study. All patients will undergo the nerve block in the absence of this study. The Doppler Ultrasound measurements will be taken at 6 different timepoints in all patients; (T0) before the nerve block, (T1) 5 minutes after the nerve block, (T2) 15 minutes after the nerve block, (T3) 30 minutes after the nerve block, (T4) 24 hours after the nerve block, (T5) 48 hours after the nerve block. At every time points the diameter of brachial artery, the Volume Flow, systolic velocity (PSV, cm/s), enddiastolic velocity (EDV, cm/s), mean velocity (Vmean, cm/s), timeaveraged mean velocity (TAVM, cm/s), ratio of PSV and EDV (S/D), resistance index (RI), and pulsatility index (PI) will be measured. The onset time of sensorial block and motor block will be recorded.

Statistical methods / analysis
Sample size will be calculated using the data obtained by the pilot study which will be conducted initially with 8 patients in total. Based on the proposed hypotheses which expect the 50% decrease on the Volume Flow between time 30.minutes to time 24 hours, The required sample size will be estimated with and an assumption of type I error of 0.01, along with type II error of 0.10 which brings a power of 0.90 (1- ß). Shapes of the distributions of the measured variables will be demonstrated by using Shapiro-Wilk method. T-test will be used to compare gender differences on the outcome parameters, and detailed with mean±standard deviation. Since the measurements wiil be rated by two independent raters including an anaesthesiologist and a radiologist, thus, the reliability tests will be utilised to assess the inter-rater agreement between the ratings of the outcomes. Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) will be chosen as an appropriate coefficient and will be calculated with two-way random affect model with an absolute agreement. Agreement coefficients will be reported along with 95% confidence intervals, and considered the ICC values > 0.90 as a very good agreement between the raters on the measurement. The measured parameters will be collected over the time starting from time the baseline measurement to the time the 48 hours. The repeated measures analysis of variance will be conducted between the time 30th.min to time 24th hours, Taking steps further with repeated measures, Posthoc analyses will be performed using Bonferroni correction for pairwise comparisons since within-subject variation in overall model. Statistical analyses will be conducted using SPSS version 25 (made by SPSS Incorporated, located in Chicago, Illinois, USA). P values of < 0.05 will be considered as significant for the tests results.

Summary
Brief summary
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the hemodynamic changes after infraclavicular brachial plexus block in early and late period buy using Doppler ultrasound. The secondary aim is to evaluate the relationship between sympathetic, sensorial and motor block in brachial plexus block.
The hypothesis of our study is the changes in Volume Flow after brachial nerve block can help us for evaluating sympathetic nerve block.
