Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of supraclavicular and interscalene brachial plexus blocks in the patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Detailed description

Conditions

• Horner's Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Supraclavicular block	Redirection of the needle is allowed when spread of local anesthetics does not surround the brachial plexus appropriately and involuntary movement of the forearm or hand is not necessary to confirm the correct placement of the needle.
