Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Duration of the sensitive block (minutes). The patients were evaluated in 4 moments postoperatively: in the PACU (post-anesthetic recovery room), 4, 12 and 24 hours after the procedure, when the patient was discharged. The duration of the sensory blockade (in minutes) was evaluated by means of a test with cotton soaked in alcoholic solution. The sensation of touch or temperature in the shoulder region was questioned and in case of a positive response in at least one of the two, it was considered to be the end of the sensory blockade. If they had presented pain complaints during the evaluation interval, this moment was considered as the end of the sensory blockade. The end of the injection of the local anesthetic solution was considered the zero moment to evaluate the duration of the blockade. An extension of at least 50% of the duration of the sensory blockade was expected according to previous studies. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Intensity of pain Evaluated by visual analog pain scale (VAS). The patients were evaluated in 4 moments postoperatively: in the PACU (post-anesthetic recovery room), 4, 12 and 24 hours after the procedure, when the patient was discharged. A reduction of at least 30% in pain scores is considered satisfactory.;- Need for rescue analgesia in the first 24 hours. Evaluated as a dichotomous variable (yes / no). The patients were evaluated in 4 moments postoperatively: in the PACU (post-anesthetic recovery room), 4, 12 and 24 hours after the procedure, when the patient was discharged. Reduction of at least 30% is considered satisfactory.;- Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) Evaluated as a dichotomous variable (yes / no). The patients were evaluated in 4 moments postoperatively: in the PACU (post-anesthetic recovery room), 4, 12 and 24 hours after the procedure, when the patient was discharged. Reduction of at least 10% is considered satisfactory.;- Block failure index. Evaluated as a dichotomous variable (yes / no). Characterized as an unaltered pain or sensory complaint in the limb operated in the anesthetic recovery room. The absence of failure is expected. | — |
