Comparison of anterior suprascapular nerve block versus interscalane nerve block in terms of diaphragm paralysis in arthroscopic shoulder surgery: a prospective randomized clinical study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This prospective, randomized study aimed to compare anterior suprascapular nerve block versus interscalene block in terms of diaphragm paralysis in arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Methods

Fifty-two patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy surgery were prospectively randomly assigned to interscalene block (n=25) or anterior suprascapular nerve block groups (n=27) (each group receiving 5 mL, 0.5% bupivacaine). The ipsilateral diaphrag matic excursion was assessed in all patients using ultrasound imaging before (baseline), 30 minutes, and 24 hours after block completion. Pain scores were recorded 1 hour preoperative, 30-60 minutes in the postoperative recovery unit, and at 6 and 24 hours postoperatively.

Results

No complete paralysis was observed in either treat
