Brief summary

This study aims to compare between Anterior glenoid nerve block, pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block and Interscalene brachial plexus (ISB) block for post-operative pain management in shoulder arthroscopic surgeries

Detailed description

Major surgeries of the shoulder constitute some of the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures. They often result in moderate to severe postoperative pain thereby requiring a multimodal analgesic approach centered around peripheral nerve blocks. Postoperative pain management is the part of shoulder surgery to improve patient satisfaction, start rehabilitation process rapidly and decrease for hospital stay. Interscalene blocks (ISB) are well-studied and established means of providing analgesia following shoulder surgery and are considered the gold standard mode of regional anesthesia and post-operative pain management in shoulder surgeries. A novel technique: pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block can be effectively and safely applied under ultrasound guidance in shoulder surgery cases for postoperative analgesia. In addition, PENG block targets articular branches with less motor effect compared with interscalene brachial plexus block providing anesthetic and analgesic effect with less complication and better and sooner ambulation.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to the 1st rescue analgesia24 hours postoperativelyTime to the first request for the rescue analgesia (time from the end of surgery to the first dose of pethidine administrated).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Total pethidine consumption24 hours postoperativelyAll patients will receive intravenous pethidine (30mg) on demand \[Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score ≥3\].
Degree of pain24 hours postoperativelyDegree of pain will be assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS). Each patient will be instructed about postoperative pain assessment with the VAS. VAS (0 represents no pain while 10 represents the worst pain imaginable). VAS will be assessed at 0, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively.
Length of hospital stayTill discharge from hospital (Up to one week).Length of hospital stay will be recorded from admission till the discharge from hospital.
Time needed for the patient to freely move the operated limbPostoperatively (Up to one week).Time needed for the patient to freely move the operated limb will be recorded.
Degree of patients satisfaction24 hours postoperativelyDegree of patient satisfaction will be assessed on a 5-point Likert scale patient satisfaction (1, extremely dissatisfied; 2, unsatisfied; 3, neutral; 4, satisfied; 5, extremely satisfied)
