Filter by:Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is often associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain that may interfere with patients' early mobilization, recovery and quality of life. In addition, by using an effective analgesic technique, a patient may experience less nausea, vomiting and drowsiness after surgery that are associated with the use of opioids to manage postoperative pain. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been used in many different indications for acute pain treatment at different thoracic and lumbar levels. Recently, staining the roots of the brachial plexus has been reported in a cadaveric study of the cervical ESPB (1). However, there are only few case reports related to efficiency and safety of this newly defined cervical ESPB technique (2) . The primary objective of this randomized controlled is investigate the post-operative analgesic effectiveness of ultrasound guided single-shot cervical ESPB for patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery in comparison to those receiving conventional parentheral opioid analgesia alone. Secondary objective is testing the safety of this newly defined block in terms of incidence of complications.
Interscalene brachial plexus block is the gold standard for perioperative pain management in shoulder surgery. However, this technique would have side effects and potential serious complications. The aim of this study is to compare between the combination of ultrasound guided suprascapular and supraclavicular nerve blocks versus ultrasound guided interscalene brachial plexus block for post operative analgesia after shoulder instability surgery with latarjet procedure.
Cervical paravertebral blocks (CPVBs) target the brachial plexus from a puncture site situated in the posterior aspect of the neck and represent an alternative to interscalene blocks (ISBs) for shoulder and proximal humeral surgery. Randomized controlled trials comparing CPVB and ISB have found no significant differences in success rate, onset and offset times. Because of the reliability of their cutaneous landmarks, CPVBs have become part of the investigators' standard practice. With this approach, the brachial approach can be identified either with loss of resistance to air (LOR) or nerve stimulation (NS). While some authors have used only LOR and reported good success rates, others have hypothesized that NS may increase the reliability of the block. In the proposed study, for the first time, the 2 methods will be formally compared.
