The theme and objective of this research focus on the development of a technique using sterile micropore taping applied over the skin of the cervicothoracic region in participants indicated for arthro
this is a prospective, interventional, controlled, and non-randomized clinical trial conducted in two hospitals in the northern region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
participants aged = 18 years, of both sexes, with clinical indication for elective shoulder arthroscopy were included
patients were sequentially and alternately allocated into two groups: Control Group (n=13 participants), who underwent the standard surgical procedure
and Intervention Group (n=13 participants), who underwent the same procedure with the additional application of the sterile micropore taping technique in the cervicothoracic region
allocation was not randomized but followed the chronological order of surgical procedures
all participants followed the same anesthetic protocol
the surgical technique was standardized for both groups, with the patient in the lateral decubitus position, broad antisepsis, placement of sterile drapes, and arthroscopic punctures, according to the
intra-articular irrigation was performed with saline solution, administered either by a pressurized system or by gravity, at the surgeon's discretion
in the Intervention Group, a 100 mm-wide sterile micropore tape was applied over the cervicothoracic region, with the application starting laterally to the sternum at the level of the sixth anterior c

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The taping technique applied in individuals undergoing arthroscopic repair of shoulder injuries is safe, reduces the extravasation of instilled fluid from the shoulder joint into the cervicotracheal region, minimizes cervical edema, and provides airway protection, thereby helping to prevent complications during extubation. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| No secondary endpoints are anticipated. | — |
