Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the duration of analgesia between superior trunk block and interscalene block in patients undergoing open shoulder surgery Timepoint: To compare the duration of analgesia between superior trunk block and interscalene block in patients undergoing open shoulder surgery at 6 , 12 , 18 , and 24 hrs after block completion.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare between the two groups A. Incidence and severity of hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis B. Pain intensity on 10-point VAS (visual analogue scale) score at rest and movement (abduction of arm) post operatively in PACU, 6,12,18 and 24 hours after the block. C. Total analgesic consumption at 6,12, 18 and 24 hours post operatively. D. Time to return of normal sensation E. Patient satisfaction post operatively at 24 hours F. Complications like dyspnea, hiccups, hoarseness and Hornerââ?¬â?¢s syndrome and neuropraxia within 24 hours postoperativelyTimepoint: post operatively in PACU, 6,12,18 and 24 hours after the block.—
