The study evaluates wether deep neuromuscular block during entire surgical procedure to the gleno-humeral joint or the proximal humerus using a deltoideo-pectoral approach results in less muscular damage to the deltoid muscle and therefore less post-operative pain and an earlier functional recovery..

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comparison group | Active Comparator | Neuromuscular Blocking Agents and reversing agents: The comparison group will receive anesthesia top up Esmeron dose to maintain a Train Of Four (TOF) count of maximum 2 during the whole procedure. This represents moderate neuromuscular block conditions. A neuromuscular monitor (PHILIPS integrated) will be used to evaluate TOF count. To maintain TOF at 2 and according to our practice a bolus injection of 0,1 mg/kg Rocuronium will be given when TOF count returns to 3. This dose will be repeated if TOF does not go back to 2 within 2 minutes after bolus injection. TOF guard and TOF tube will be used at the ulnar nerve at the contralateral side and will be checked continuously during surgery. Reversal of the TOF=2 will be done by Sugammadex 2 mg/kg at end of procedure (Time of last suture) |
|
| Deep group | Experimental | Neuromuscular Blocking Agents and reversing agents: The deep group will receive deep neuromuscular block, using a infusion of Esmeron at 0,1mg/kg/hour. A post tetanic count will be performed and our target will be to have a PTC 1-2. The standard infusion will be adjusted as such. Reversal will be achieved by Sugammadex 4 mg/kg depending on reversal speed at the end of procedure (Time of last suture) |

| Deep neuromuscular block | Procedure | Deep neuromuscular block requiring higher doses of Esmeron to target a post tetanic count (PTC) of 1-2 and higher doses of Bridion to reverse the block (4mg/kg). |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Modified Leiden score | the surgeon will be asked to score the surgical conditions on a five step scale based upon previously used scales:
| 1 Day of surgery |
| Visual analogue scale (VAS) | Scale ranges from 0 to 10 representing respectively no pain and wordt imaginable pain. | Day 3 post-operative at 14 o' clock |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Muscular damage | Two light photos will be taken before closure of the deltoideopectoral interval to document the muscular damage by the surgeon using a grading score (1-4, 1=no muscular damage, 2=superficial damage (fraying) or contusion, 3=muscular tear < 1 cm depth, 4=muscular tear > 1 cm depth). | 1 Day of surgery |

The patient and the surgeon are blinded for the intervention. The anesthesist knows the allocation.
| Moderate neuromuscular block | Procedure | Normal neuromuscular block requiring dosis of Esmeron to target a train of four (TOF) count of max 2 and lower doses of Bridion to reverse the block (2mg/kg). |
|
| Neuromuscular Blocking Agents and reversing agents | Drug | Deep neuromuscular block versus moderate neuromuscular block. |
|
| Muscular damage |
Two light photos will be taken before closure of the deltoideopectoral interval to document the muscular damage by two independent reviewers (surgeons blinded to the procedure) using a grading score (1-4, 1=no muscular damage, 2=superficial damage (fraying) or contusion, 3=muscular tear < 1 cm depth, 4=muscular tear > 1 cm depth). |
| 1 year after inclusion |
| VAS | Scale ranges from 0 to 10 representing respectively no pain and worst imaginable pain. Post-operative pain will be scored using a VAS-pain scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). | The scoring will be done at 8-14 and 20 o'clock on days 1-3-5 post-operative and once a day from day 5 to day 30 post-operative. |
| Analgesic needs | The analgesic needs of the patient during hospitalization will be derived from the Electronic Medical Prescription (EMV) module of the Electronic patient file system. The total morphine consumption will be assessed in all groups as well as rescue medication such as ketalar, NSAID's catapressan and paracetamol. | Up to 5 days post-operative |
| Analgesic needs | The analgesic needs of the patient after hospitalization will be derived from a patient diary. | From hospital discharge to 30 days post-operative |
| Length of stay at post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) | Evaluation and length of stay at the PACU will also be examined as this clearly reflects the amount of post-operative comfort or possible adverse effects witnessed post procedure. The parameter will be expressed in hours and there will be two measurement. The time of expected discharge and the actual discharge (with reasons of possible delay between those two figures expressed in minutes or hours). | 1 Day of surgery |
| Length of surgery | Will be expressed in %. As different procedures are being performed within this study, absolute length would not be indicative for ease of procedure. Therefore we express length of surgery as actual length of the procedure (incision to closure), divided by the mean length of the 10 last identical procedures (out of the study) performed by the same surgeon. | intraoperative |
| Length of stay | Is defined as post-operative length of stay, the day of surgery being day 0. This parameter will be expressed in days. As post-operative pain is one of the principal reasons for hospitalization after shoulder surgery, we believe this parameter is an indirect measure for post-operative pain. | from day 3 up to 3 weeks after surgery |
| Evaluation of dry catheter technique | Evaluation of the efficacy of the catheter will be done 30 minutes after the bolus injection. Efficacy will be tested by using ether swab to test sensory block and also motorfunction evaluation of the motorjoint (raising arm to full height pass/fail). | 1 Day of surgery |
