Brief summary
Patients's demographics and perioperative factors affect the occurrence of hypotensive bradycardic events in the patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the sitting position under interscalene block.
Detailed description
Patients' age, Side of the block,Horner's syndrome, the degree of blockade, preoperative fasting time and fluid administration volume, waiting time for sitting position after the block, intraoperative use of opioids and antihypertensives, and change of heart rate variability before the block and after sitting position affect the occurrence of hypotensive bradycardic events in the patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the sitting position under interscalene block.
Interventions
OTHERInterscalene brachial plexus block
After sterile draping around interscalene groove with povidone, a nerve stimulating needle connected to a nerve stimulator is inserted through the interscalene groove. Following involuntary contraction of shoulder, arm, forearm, or hand muscles with 0.5 milliamperes at 1 Hz using the nerve stimulator, 30 to 40 ml of mixture of 1% mepivacaine 20 ml and 0.75% ropivacaine 20 ml are injected.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Patient's age and gender, fasting time, administered volume, blood pressure, and heart rate variability | Prior to ISBPB | Patients'age and gender, preoperative fasting time and volume of fluid administered, pre-block mean arterial pressure and heart rate, logarithmically transformed low frequency, high frequency, and total power of heart rate variability |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Side of the block, volume of local anesthetics used, number of patients having Horner's syndrome, hoarseness, and subjective dyspnea, degree of dermatomal and motor blockade | 20 minutes after the end of local anethetics injection | Side of the block, volume of local anesthetics used, number of patients having Horner's syndrome (ptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis), hoarseness, and subjective dyspnea, degree of dermatomal blockade (C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1), and degree of motor blockade (median, ulnar, radial, and musculocutaneous nerve) |
| Waiting time for sitting position, heart rate variability, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, frequency of antihypertensives and opioids use, and onset of hypotensive bradycardic events | after the sitting position (expected average of 2 hours including surgery readiness time and duration of surgery) | Waiting time for sitting position (time from the end of interscalene brachial plexus block to the sitting position), logarithmically transformed high frequency, low frequency, and total power of heart rate variability, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, frequency of intraoperative use of antihypertensives and opioids, and onset of hypotensive bradycardic events |
