Perioperative Pain

Brief summary

When someone experiences a shoulder dislocation, it can be extremely painful. Emergency physicians often choose to use conscious sedation to help reduce the pain. However, some patients may not be able to tolerate conscious sedation due to concerns about their ability to breathe properly or the risk of inhaling fluids. A recently developed technique called Ultrasound-guided Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block is used to block the articular branches of the shoulder and the pericapsular spread around the glenohumeral joint. The PENG block is commonly used in hip surgery and is effective in providing motor-sparing analgesic results.

Detailed description

When someone experiences a shoulder dislocation, it can be extremely painful. Emergency physicians often choose to use conscious sedation to help reduce the pain. However, some patients may not be able to tolerate conscious sedation due to concerns about their ability to breathe properly or the risk of inhaling fluids. In an ideal scenario, the surgeon could achieve complete pain control and muscle relaxation without compromising the patient's airway. There are various techniques available to facilitate shoulder reduction, including interscalene block, general anesthesia, and intravenous analgesia. All of these methods can help the surgeon ease the patient's pain and reduce the likelihood of complications.1 When choosing the anesthesia method for reducing ASD, the top priority is ensuring the patient's comfort through pain management. The anesthesia helps to relax the muscle spasms, making it easier to reduce the ASD. The goal is to relocate the shoulder with minimal risk of complications. A recently developed technique called Ultrasound-guided Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block is used to block the articular branches of the shoulder and the pericapsular spread around the glenohumeral joint. The PENG block is commonly used in hip surgery and is effective in providing motor-sparing analgesic results.

Interventions

DRUGPropofol injection and fentanyl

The sequence will be to inject fentanyl 1 μg•kg-1•min-1 first within 1 min and then inject propofol 2 mg•kg-1•min-1.

DRUGBupivacain

Patients will be anesthetized with ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group block (PENG block) using 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine.
