Abstract Background Peripheral nerve blocks are widely used for anaesthesia in upper or lower limb surgery, but the methods used to assess their success vary substantially across randomised controlled trials. Standardised reporting of how peripheral nerve blocks are tested and how success is defined is essential for ensuring the validity and ...

Symptomatic hemi-diaphragmatic palsy following rescue interscalene brachial plexus nerve block [PDF]
Introduction: Proximal humerus/shoulder surgeries usually cause a significant amount of pain in post-operative period and Interscalene brachial plexus (ISB) nerve block promises good pain relief for the same.

A Rare Case of Intramediastinal Humeral Head Fracture Dislocation Through the Thoracic Inlet
ABSTRACT Intramediastinal fracture dislocation of the humeral head due to a blunt trauma is very rare. It may be accompanied by local and systemic injuries associated with high‐energy trauma. Only one case has been reported in the literature; therefore, an appropriate treatment modality remains unclear. We present a case of a 71‐year‐old woman involved

Purpose To evaluate the extent to which experienced reviewers can accurately discern between artificial intelligence (AI)–generated and original research abstracts published in the field of shoulder and elbow surgery and compare this with the performance of an AI detection tool. Methods Twenty‐five shoulder‐ and elbow‐related articles published in high‐

Interscalene plexus block and general anesthesia in Brugada syndrome
Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a channelopathy predisposing to malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Perioperative pharmacological and physiological changes may precipitate these events and cardiac dysfunction. We report the efficacy and

Aphonia after shoulder surgery: case report
In this case report we highlight the uniqueness of aphonia as, to the best of our knowledge, cases of aphonia related to interscalene brachial plexus block (IBPB) are not described in the literature.

Dexamethasone with bupivacaine increases duration of analgesia in ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus blockade [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Dexamethasone has been shown to prolong the duration of postoperative analgesia when given as an adjunct for peripheral nerve blocks. However, it has not been evaluated when given in conjunction with bupivacaine and clonidine to

Effective Volume of Ropivacaine 0.75% through a Catheter Required for Interscalene Brachial Plexus Blockade [PDF]
Background: Ultrasound guidance during peripheral nerve blocks has allowed for reduction in dose and volume of local anesthetic required to accomplish successful blockade using multiple injections through a needle.

Single-bolus injection of local anesthetic, with or without continuous infusion, for interscalene brachial plexus block in the setting of multimodal analgesia: a randomized controlled unblinded trial. [PDF]
Previous trials favored a continuous interscalene brachial plexus block over a single injection for major shoulder surgery. However, these trials did not administer a multimodal analgesic regimen.
