• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 50 (estimated)

• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

We hypothesize that both ultrasound-guided supraclavicular and interscalene block provide similar analgesia after shoulder surgery.

Detailed description

Interscalene block provides effective postoperative analgesia after shoulder surgery. However, it can be associated with significant risk including the phrenic nerve palsy. Previous study reported that ultrasound-guided interscalene and supraclavicular blocks are effective and safe for shoulder arthroscopy.
