Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Sensory block was assessed by loss of cold sensation in the area of innervation of nerves with their use of cotton soaked in ether. Motor block was evaluated by Bromage scale grade 1 = no blocking, grade 2 = unable to abduction and external rotation of the arm, grade 3 = complete block of every shoulder, arm and forearm). Cardiovascular parameters (heart rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressures) were measured and recorded upon arrival in the operating room (T1), every 5 minutes after the blockade after 30 minutes after the start of surgery (T2), in the wake (T3) and on discharge from the recovery room (PACU) (T4). Cardiocirculatory instability (BP and HR> 30% of baseline pressure of patients) was also considered as a criterion for postoperative failure. Analgesia was measured by visual analog scale (O-no pain, 10 - worst possible pain) at times T0 (PACU), T6 (6 h after blocking) T12 (12 hours after the lock) and T24 (24 hours after the lock).
