Comparing C3, 4, and 5 nerve root block and interscalene with intermediate cervical plexus block in diaphragmatic motion for clavicle surgery.

ABSTRACT: Regional anesthesia is a popular method for surgical anesthesia in clavicular surgery. Selective blocking of the cervical 3, 4, and 5 nerve roots shows promise in clavicle surgery, with its fast onset, good anesthesia and less complications, necessitating evaluation of its impact on diaphragmatic function. The purpose of this study is to examine the safety of C3, 4, and 5 nerve root block for its application in clavicle surgery. We conducted a pragmatic, randomized trial to evaluate the effect of C3, 4, and 5 nerve root block as compared with interscalene with intermediate cervical plexus block in diaphragmatic motion. This study involved forty patients undergoing right clavicle surgery. Patients were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either a C345 nerve root block (administered with 2, 3, and 5
