Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Adult patients 18-60years of age of either sex scheduled to undergo elective unilateral arthroscopic shoulder surgery under ASA grades I and II.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: a. History of allergy to local anaesthetic and contraindications to block (history of coagulopathy or on anticoagulants, local site infection) b.

Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
â?¢ To compare the total amount of rescue analgesia required in each group. â?¢ To compare patient satisfaction in terms of quality of pain relief using Visual analogue scale (VAS) in relation to both the techniques. Timepoint: Time of first rescue analgesia will be noted and total amount of analgesia required will also be noted. Patient satisfaction will be assessed in terms of quality of pain relief using visual analogue scale (VAS: 0-10) at the end of 24 hours.

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the efficacy, safety and duration of postoperative analgesia provided by shoulder block versus interscalene block using ultrasound and nerve stimulation as guidance in arthroscopic shoulder surgery.Timepoint: Postoperative pain will be evaluated at 0, 2, 4, 6, 12 and at 24 hours from the completion of surgery using VAS scoring from zero (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). .
