Brief Summary

Ultrasound-guided interscalene block (ISB) is the reference technique for pain control after ambulatory upper limb surgery, but supraclavicular block (SCB) is an alternative procedure. We compared the efficacy of these two techniques in patients undergoing ambulatory arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • non-inferiority of BSC in relation to BIS on postoperative analgesic efficacy for arthroscopic outpatient shoulder rotator cuff repair surgery.

    Opioid oral consumption at home within 48 hours of returning home.

    2 days

Study Arms (2)

Interscalene block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Site of injection for ISB was the C6 plexus nerve root with a posterior in-plane approach, with neurostimulation control, and ultrasound-controlled of extra-plexus injection of the mixture posterior to the C6 root

Procedure: arthroscopic shoulder surgery of rotary cuff (ISB)

Supraclavicular block

EXPERIMENTAL

Site of injection for SCB was superficial and lateral to the trunks of the brachial plexus, and not directly deep inside the "corner pocket" zone, with neurostimulation control and visualization of the lung

Procedure: arthroscopic shoulder surgery of rotary cuff (CSB)

Interventions

ISB were performed in the same manner by one of the two anesthesiologists in our team: (i) patients were monitored, after sedation with sublingual midazolam (0.1 mg/kg) + a single bolus of intravenous (IV) ketamine (0.2 mg/kg); (ii) ultrasound-guidance was carried out using a Kontron® or General Electric® ultrasound machine; (iii) neurostimulation was performed with a Stimuplex HNS® 12 set at 0.1 ms, 1 Hz and 1 mA stimulation, in sentinel mode, with the aim of securing the approach of the needle; (iv) a single perineural injection was performed with a 50 mm Vygon® needle containing a mixture of 100 mg levobupivacaine (20 mL, 0.5%) and clonidine (1 µg/kg patient) as is the local common protocol and in the absence of contraindications.
