Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Incidence of rebound pain following the wear-off of local anesthetic effect Numeric pain rating scale greater than or equal to 7

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Rebound pain score within 12 hours after the anesthetic effect has worn off subtracting the lowest pain score before the anesthetic effect wears off from the highest pain score within 12 hours after the anesthetic effect has worn off,Onset of rebound pain Once the interscalene brachial plexus block is done Duration,Duration of rebound pain Duration from the onset of rebound pain Duration,Duration of sensory blockade From the time of interscalene brachial plexus block to resolution of sensory blockade Duration,Duration of motor blockade From the time of interscalene brachial plexus block to resolution of motor blockade Duration,Time to first analgesia From the time of interscalene brachial plexus block to the first analgesic request Duration,Morphine consumption During hospitalization in post operative period Milligram,Volatile agent consumption During surgery millilitre,Emergence time From discontinue of inhalation anesthetics to state full name on command Duration ,Richmon agitation sedation score within 24 hours after surgery Richmon agitation sedation score,Length of hospital stay After surgery Days,Adverse events After surgery Number of events including hypotension, bradycardia, desaturation, nausea and vomiting,Satisfaction scores within 7 days after surgery Numeric rating scale (-5 to 5))
