Comparison of Using CIBPB With or Without IV-PCA After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Comparison of Quality of Recovery in Patients Using Continuous Brachial Plexus Block With or Without Intravenous Patient-Controlled Analgesia After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Prospective Randomized Study

The goal of this study is to compare the continuous brachial plexus block with or without intravenous patient controlled analgesia(PCA) in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, in terms of quality of recovery, postoperative pain score, and adverse event.

The Bellomic® M silicone balloon infuser, dual continuous petite type (cebika, Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea) has 2-channel infusion elastomeric pump with two balloon chambers.

This structure allows the simultaneous use of continuous nerve block and intravenous PCA. In addition, intravenous PCA can be continued even when continuous nerve block is discontinued due to discomfort such as numbness, tingling sense or motor block.

This is expected to contribute to the patient satisfaction and quality of recovery.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Having arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
• American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-III

Exclusion Criteria:

• Contraindication to interscalene brachial plexus block
• Contraindication to fentanyl
