Brief summary

This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of ultrasound guided superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) with either clavipectoral fascial plane block (CPB) or interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBP) as an anesthetic technique for clavicle surgeries.

Detailed description

Clavicular fracture is the most common injury in the shoulder, it occurs in 35% of shoulder girdle fractures. Clavicle surgeries often involve addressing fractures, dislocations, or corrective procedures, and they generally require precise and effective pain control. Traditional superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) combined with interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBP) can be used in the operation of clavicle fracture. The SCPB targets the cervical plexus, providing sensory anesthesia to the skin overlying the cervical and upper thoracic regions. It is often used in conjunction with other blocks to enhance analgesia in the upper shoulder and clavicle area. The ISBP block involves the administration of local anesthetic at the level of the brachial plexus, typically performed between the anterior and middle scalene muscles. This approach provides comprehensive analgesia for the shoulder, upper arm, and part of the clavicular area. Clavipectoral fascial plane block (CPB) is a new regional nerve block and can be used in anesthesia and postoperative analgesia for clavicle fracture surgery. CPB provides analgesia to the clavicular region and the upper shoulder.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Success rateIntraoperativelyThe block will be considered successful when complete sensory block is achieved within 45 min after injection of the study drug and inadequate block will be converted to general anesthesia and excluded from the study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
First request of the rescue analgesia24 hours postoperativelyFirst request of the rescue analgesia will be recorded from the end of surgery till first dose of morphine administrated
Total morphine consumption24 hours postoperativelyRescue analgesia of morphine will be given as 2 mg bolus if the visual Analogue Scale (VAS)\> 3 to be repeated after 30 min if pain persists until the VAS \< 4. Each patient will be instructed about postoperative pain assessment with VAS. VAS (0 represents no pain while 10 represents the worst pain imaginable).
Degree of patient satisfaction24 hours postoperativelyThe degree 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).
Incidence of Complications24 hours postoperativelyIncidence of complications as local anesthetic systemic toxicity, nerve injury, diaphragmatic paresis, pneumothorax and high epidural block.
