Post Operative Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
Nerve blocks applied with ultrasonography are currently used for many post-operative pain and operations. Providing adequate area analgesia is the primary goal of clinicians, as early mobilization is suggested after shoulder and arm surgery. In this study aimed to investigate the effect of superior trunk block application on postoperative analgesic and motor functions.
Interventions
PROCEDUREsuperior trunk block
Local anesthetic injection will be applied to the superior trunk of the brachial plexus accompanied by ultrasonography.
Analgesics will be given using a patient-controlled analgesia device.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analog Scale | Postoperative 24 hours | Visual Analog Scale was used for pain.Pain intensity was measured using 0-10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS). (0=no pain, 10=intolerable pain) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| tramadol consumption amount | Postoperative 24 hours | tramadol consumption amount with patient-controlled analgesia device |
| additional analgesic use amount | Postoperative 24 hours | The amount of paracetamol (intravenous, 1 g) or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug to be administered to patients with a Visuel analog scale above 5 after the operation. |
| postoperative complications | Postoperative 24 hours | shortness of breath, hiccups, hoarseness |
| Horner syndrome | Postoperative 24 hours | Horner syndrome is a rare condition classically presenting with partial ptosis (drooping or falling of upper eyelid), miosis (constricted pupil), and facial anhidrosis (loss of sweating) due to a disruption in the sympathetic nerve supply |
