upper limb surgery in University Science Hospital, Kubang Kerian. A comparative study of
local anaesthetic, ropivacaine and bupivacaine used for regional block, supraclavicular

regional anaesthesia agent is important because of issues such as blood loss, deep vein
thrombosis, postoperative lung complications and confusion in elderly are avoided.
