Catheter Over Needle (CON) vs Catheter Through Needle (CTN).
Sponsor: Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile
Summary
This is a randomized clinical trial with the objective of comparing the time of insertion of two types of perineural catheters in shoulder surgery. These devices are thin lines that have to be inserted over a needle or throw a needle, depending of the type of catheter that is used. The hypothesis is: the installation of Contiplex C or catheter over needle (CON) is faster than a normal contiplex catheter or Catheter throw needle (CTN) at same rate of effectivity.
