Interscalene Block Versus Infraspinatus-Teres Minor Interfascial Plane Block for Shoulder Arthroscopy

This prospective randomized controlled study aims to compare the effects of interscalene block, infraspinatus-teres minor interfascial plane block, and a control group on postoperative analgesia and diaphragmatic function in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy. A total of 120 patients will be enrolled and allocated into three groups. Postoperative pain scores, opioid consumption, rescue analgesic requirements, and diaphragmatic function will be evaluated and compared among the groups. The study seeks to determine whether the infraspinatus-teres minor interfascial plane block can provide effective postoperative analgesia with less impact on diaphragmatic function compared with interscalene block.

Incidence of Diaphragmatic Dysfunction After Non-Intubated Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

The objective of this this single-center prospective longitudinal study is to evaluate the incidence of diaphragmatic dysfunction after non-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (NIVATS). Participant will be evaluated during surgery, 2 hours and 24 hours after surgery.

3D Evaluation to Quantify Regional Volume Change Between FRC and TLC

The aim of this study is first to validate an IC measurement using analysis of two 3D acquisitions, and to appreciate the inter-observer variability of this IC measurement between a trained technician of respiratory function analysis and a trained pulmonologist.
