A Retrospective Analysis of the Analgesic and Adverse Effects of Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block During Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery

Öz:

Objective: Interscalene block (ISB) has become an accepted and effective technique of anesthetic and perioperative analgesia, in arthroscopic shoulder surgery. We aimed to retrospectively eva- luate a series of patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery under combined ISB and general anesthesia. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed consisting 641 patients who had ISB performed between June 2007 – Janu- ary 2013 for success rates, side effects and complications. Results: The overall success rate of the blocks was 96.5%, with a mean postoperative analgesia time of 15.5 hours. While no pa- tient suffered permanent nerve injury as a result of ISB, the most common complication noted in this analysis was local anestheti- c-related convulsion, which occurred in only one patient. Conclusion: Interscalene block and general anesthesia combinati- on, which provides high patient satisfaction with low side effects and complication profile, can be recommended for patients un- dergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Artroskopik Omuz Cerrahisi Sırasında İnterskalen Brakiyal Pleksus Bloğunun Analjezik ve Yan Etkilerinin Retrospektif Analizi

Öz:

Amaç: İnterskalen blok (İSB), artroskopik omuz cerrahisinde anes- tezi ve perioperatif analjezi için kabul görmüş ve etkili bir yöntem hâline gelmiştir. Kombine İSB ve genel anestezi altında artroskopik omuz cerrahisi uygulanan bir hasta serisini retrospektif olarak de- ğerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Yöntem: Başarı oranları, yan etkiler ve komplikasyonlar için Hazi- ran 2007 - Ocak 2013 arasında İSB uygulanan 641 hastayı içeren retrospektif bir dosya incelemesi yapıldı. Bulgular: Genel başarılı blok oranı %96,5 ve ortalama postopera- tif analjezi süresi 15,5 saatti. Hiçbir hastada İSB’ye bağlı kalıcı sinir hasarı görülmezken, karşılaşılan en önemli komplikasyon sadece 1 hastada görülen lokal anestezik ilişkili konvülsiyondu. Sonuç: Artroskopik omuz cerrahisi uygulanan hastalarda, düşük yan etki ve komplikasyon profili ile yüksek hasta memnuniyeti sağ- layan ISB ve genel anestezi kombinasyonu önerilebilir.
