Brief summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of ESPB versus ISB in anesthesia for shoulder arthroscopy

Detailed description

Regional anesthetic techniques can control pain effectively, both at rest and on movement, allowing earlier mobilization without the adverse effects of opioids. Among the various types of regional anesthetic techniques, the interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) is a gold standard used nerve block technique for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing shoulder surgery, as it has consistently been shown to significantly control. the interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) regional anesthesia offers many advantages over general anesthesia for both arthroscopic and open surgeries of the shoulder it provides excellent intraoperative anesthesia and muscle relaxation' as well as analgesia that continues into the postoperative period

Interventions

PROCEDUREErector spinae plane block

Using a 20-gauge block needle put in-plane in a cephalad-to-caudad orientation to position the tip into the fascial plane on the deep (anterior) side of the erector spinae muscle, 20 ml bupivacaine 0.5% will be injected

PROCEDUREInterscalene brachial plexus block

Using a lateral-to-medial approach, the 25-gauge needle will be inserted into the middle scalene muscle, advanced, and placed immediately lateral to the nerve roots. the needle will be visualize using an ultrasound beam to avoid intraneural and intravascular injections. After confirming negative blood aspiration, we will inject 15 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine around the nerve roots
