Analgesic Efficacy of US-Guided Interscalene Block Versus Supraclavicular Block for Ambulatory Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
Sponsor: GCS Ramsay Santé pour l'Enseignement et la Recherche
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).

Interventions
arthroscopic shoulder surgery of rotary cuff (ISB)
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.
