Official Title: Comparison of the Effects of Interscalene Block and Superior Trunk Block on Pulmonary Functions for Shoulder Arthroscopic Surgery Patients
Brief Summary:
The interscalene block (ISB) is one of the peripheral nerve blocks providing surgical anesthesia and postoperative analgesia in shoulder arthroscopy, eliminating the need for general anesthesia.It is performed by administering local anesthetics (LA) to the C5-C6 roots between the scalene muscles at the level of the cricoid cartilage.ISB-related side effects, such as diaphragmatic paralysis, can occur with the spread of LA to the phrenic nerve over the anterior scalene muscle.To prevent this, a superior trunk block…
