Filter by:A comparison between Erector Spinae Plane block and Suprascapular nerve block in providing analgesia for shoulder surgery
It is compared that combined suprascapular and infraclavicular nerve blocks to interscalene nerve block for clinical outcomes after shoulder surgery
Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is a common and minimally invasive procedure utilized for different shoulder pathologies, but it is often associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain that may interfere with patients' well-being and course of recovery. By using an effective analgesic technique with few side effects, a patient may experience less pain after surgery, have a shortened hospital stay, and endure less nausea, vomiting, or excessive drowsiness that are associated with the use of opioids to manage postoperative pain. Periarticular infiltration (PAI) with local anesthetic (LA) has been used for shoulder surgery pain management, but the more effective interscalene nerve block (ISNB) is the current gold standard analgesic modality despite risk of significant side effects including diaphragm paralysis and rebound pain. In this study, the investigators want to look at the effectiveness and safety profile of a novel technique for pain management after shoulder surgery that has the potential to provide successful pain relief with minimal risk of side effects. Half of the patients will be randomly selected to receive the novel nerve block called the Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block while the other half will receive a more standard PAI of local anesthetic to numb the shoulder. Patients' pain intensity and opioid consumption in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) as well as during the first 24 hours after surgery will be evaluated. Any complications from the interventions will also be noted. The investigators predict that the ESP block will provide superior analgesia compared to PAI for these shoulder arthroscopy patients.
To compare ISB vs anterior and posterior approaches of suprascapular block in terms of lung function and analgesia
Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is associated with severe pain postoperatively. Regional nerve block adding to general anesthesia might improve the quality of postoperative analgesia. The aim of the study is to compare the subacromial local anesthetic infiltration and the suprascapular-axillary nerve blocks combination for intraoperative sevoflurane consumption, postoperative analgesia and analgesic consumption.
Following arthroscopic shoulder surgery a small but significant number of people suffer severe postoperative pain. This study aims to predict which patients are at risk of developing severe post operative pain so that they may be targeted with a more aggressive post operative pain regimen.
