Pleural effusion and atelectasis during continuous interscalene brachial plexus block -A case report- [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2010 An interscalene brachial plexus block is an effective means of providing anesthesia-analgesia for shoulder surgery. However, it has a multitude of potential side effects such as phrenic nerve block. We report a case of a patient who developed atelectasis
