Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome is to measure and compare total analgesic consumption of both intraoperative and post operative opioids and non opioid drugs in ultrasound guided superior trunk block and ultrasound guided upper thoracic erector spinae plain block in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes include comparing the efficacy of ultrasound-guided superior trunk block and ultrasound- guided high thoracic erector spinae plain block for postoperative analgesia management using a visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). The patient will be asked to mark his pain level on this scale, VAS will be recorded in rest (static) and at mobilization (dynamic), on the ward, VAS scores will be recorded 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hrs postoperatively, , effect of both block on surgical stress response, time to first rescue analgesia, block performance time, complications related to both blocks and adverse effect of used drugs, the patient satisfaction and time to discharge from hospital
