Postoperative Pain in Shoulder Surgery

The Effect of Ultrasound-Guided Suprascapular Block Plus Low-dose Interscalen Brachial Plexus Block for Postoperative Pain in Shoulder Surgery

After the approval of the ethics committee, the files of the patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery between 01.01.2019 and 01.03.2020 were evaluated retrospectively.

Data were recorded including age, gender, duration of anesthesia, duration of surgery, postoperative analgesia consumption, complications such as respiratory distress due to hemidiaphragmatic paralysis and complications such as hematoma and nerve damage due to block intervention.

Patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery and underwent USG-guided interscalene block and concomitant suprascapular block were included in the study. We tried to determine whether there is a difference between different dose regimens in order to determine the effective analgesic dose and minimize the side effects of dose-dependent interscalene block applications.
