Comparison of Postoperative Analgesic Efficacy of Interscalene and Suprascapular Blocks Used in Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery
Sponsor: Aydin Adnan Menderes University
Summary
The Importance of Postoperative Analgesia in Shoulder Surgery Shoulder surgery is an orthopedic procedure that can be performed either through open surgery or arthroscopically. Pain following shoulder surgery can lead to adverse outcomes such as decreased functional status, increased consumption of narcotic analgesics, and the development of chronic pain. Therefore, achieving optimal postoperative shoulder analgesia is important not only for patient comfort and satisfaction but also for promoting functional recovery, preventing chronic pain, and reducing the need for narcotic analgesics. Additionally, minimizing the side effects associated with nerve block techniques used for analgesia is crucial for the overall success of the treatment.

rescue analgesia
In the postoperative recovery room, patients with a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score of 4 or higher received 100 mg of intravenous tramadol as rescue analgesia. In addition, both groups routinely received 1 g of intravenous paracetamol every 6 hours during their stay in the ward. During ward follow-up, if the NRS score was 4 or higher, 100 mg of intravenous tramadol was administered as needed.
