Clinical Trial Summary

In this study the investigators aim to compare the effect of the suprascapular- supraclavicular nerve block in association with dexamethasone to that of the interscalene brachial plexus block on analgesic effect during arthroscopic shoulder surgery, as postoperative pain scores ,postoperative consumption of analgesic rescue medications and diaphragmatic excursion assessment.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Postoperative analgesia by visual analog scale (VAS).	The; primary outcome of this study will be to evaluate and compare between suprascapular-supraclavicular nerve block in association with dexamethasone to that of the interscalene brachial plexus block on postoperative analgesia by vas score during 24 h postoperatively ( 2h , 6h , 12h, 24h).; The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be').	24 hours
Secondary	Diaphragmatic excursion	Assessment of diaphragmatic excursion by ultrasound preoperatively and 1hour postoperatively	1hour postoperatively
