Brief summary

Recently, there has been an increase in the popularity of minimally invasive surgical techniques, including arthroscopic surgeries for shoulder procedures. Interscalene block is currently the gold standard technique for these surgeries, combined or not with general anesthesia. The last, when used in patients positioned in a beach chair can lead to serious hemodynamic and cerebral changes in the patients. Continuous non-invasive monitoring of the patient's cardiac output can provide data for better hemodynamics management compared to standard monitoring. Therefore, the aim of the study is to compare hemodynamic changes (cardiac output, blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation) and intraoperative cerebral oxygenation using peripheral cerebral saturation monitoring with continuous measurement of cardiac output or standard hemodynamic between two anesthetic techniques for shoulder surgery: interscalene block with sedation versus interscalene block with general anesthesia. The groups will be evaluated as follows: group 1 general anesthesia plus interscalene brachial plexus block and group 2 sedation plus interscalene brachial plexus block. Additionally, each group will be subdivided into two more groups, one with continuous hemodynamic monitoring and the other with standard hemodynamic monitoring, that is, a total of 4 groups in the study. The analyzed variables will include gender, age, ASA, medications in use, comorbidities. Furthermore, duration of procedure and in the anesthetic recovery room, blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, peripheral oxygen saturation, cerebral oxygen saturation, BIS value, cardiac index, etCO2 will be evaluated. Besides, length of hospital stay, delirium, behavioral status and postoperative complication will also be assessed.

Detailed description

The study will be split in 4 groups, being group 1A general anesthesia plus interscalene brachial plexus block with continuos non-invasive monitoring, group 1B general anesthesia plus interscalene brachial plexus block with standard hemodynamic monitoring, group 2A sedation plus interscalene brachial plexus block with continuos non-invasive monitoring, gruop 2B sedation plus interscalene brachial plexus block with standard hemodynamic monitoring. The standard hemodynamic monitoring includes blood pressure, heart rate, peripheral oxygen saturation, brain monitoring and cerebral oxygen saturation. The continuos non-invasive monitoring includes the standard monitoring plus cardiac output, cardiac index and hypotension predict index. These variables will be analyzed intraoperatively and compared between groups with the aim of demonstrating the benefit of continuous non-invasive monitoring. In the postoperative will be evalueted delirium, lenght hospital stay, postoperative complication and pain. We will use the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS), Confusion Assessment Method in the ICU, visual analogue pain scale and visual numeric pain scale for evaluation postoperative.

Interventions

DEVICEhemodynamic continuous monitoring

Continuous monitoring will be done with clearsight continuously assessing blood pressure, cardiac output and heart rate; NIRS electrode to assess cerebral O2 saturation, peripheral O2 saturation, BIS value and axillary temperature.

Standard monitoring will be done with non-invasive blood pressure, heart rate, NIRS electrode to access cerebral O2 saturation, peripheral O2 saturation, axillary temperature, BIS value. In addition, patients will use Clearsight, but the device will be blind to the anesthesiologist. Pressure monitoring will be every 5 min.

Intervention model description

The selected patients will be divided into two groups: group 1 general anesthesia + interscalene brachial plexus block and group 2 sedation + interscalene brachial plexus block. Each group will be divided into two groups, one with hemodynamic continuous monitoring and one with standard hemodynamic monitoring, totaling 4 groups in total in the study. Group 1A general anesthesia + interscalene brachial plexus block with continuous monitoring; group 1B general anesthesia + interscalene brachial plexus block with standard monitoring; group 2A sedation + interscalene brachial plexus block with continuous monitoring; group 2B sedation + interscalene brachial plexus block with standard monitoring.
