NCT06638112

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the quality of recovery in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery depending on the type of anesthesia used:

  1. 1.general anesthesia with preoperative brachial plexus block for intra- and postoperative analgesia
  2. 2.regional anesthesia (brachial plexus block) with intraoperative sedation.

Study Arms (2)

General anesthesia

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The patient undergoes shoulder arthroscopy under general anesthesia after receiving a preoperative brachial plexus block for intra- and postoperative analgesia.

Procedure: General Anesthesia (control group)

Brachial plexus block

EXPERIMENTAL

The patient undergoes shoulder arthroscopy under brachial plexus block and intraoperative sedation with remimazolam or propofol.

Procedure: Brachial Plexus Block

Interventions

Interscalene brachial plexus block with 0.75% ropivacaine. Intraoperative sedation with remimazolam or propofol.

Brachial plexus block

General anesthesia with propofol, fentanyl and rocuronium for induction, and with sevoflurane for maintenance. Brachial plexus block with 0.5% ropivacaine for intra- and postoperative analgesia.

General anesthesia
