Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder rotator cuff repair between January 2021 and December 2022 and who received a continuous brachial plexus block for postoperative analgesia will be eligible.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: An open letter will be prepared and patients will be excluded from the study if they are informed that they do not wish to be included in the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcome is to compare the time from patient admission to the start of general anesthesia between the catheter pre-insertion group and the catheter pre-insertion group as a control group to determine whether catheter pre-insertion contributes to operating room efficiency.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
As a secondary outcome, we would like to examine whether catheter preinsertion is disadvantageous to patients by comparing the use of remifentanil, an analgesic used during surgery, the postoperative resting shoulder pain numerical rating scale (NRS), and the rate of catheter reinsertion. The results of this study will be presented at the end of the study. In addition, we would like to compare the time of leaving the operating room before and after pre-catheter insertion in shoulder joint surgery patients, and to examine whether the overtime hours of medical staff could be reduced.	—
