Clinical report: interscalene block for shoulder operations.

E K Lim

    Anaesthesia and Intensive Care
    |February 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Interscalene block effectively numbs the brachial and cervical plexuses for shoulder surgery. This technique offers advantages for recurrent shoulder dislocation repair, though potential complications exist.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Regional Anesthesia

    Background:

    • The interscalene space allows for blockade of both brachial and cervical plexuses with adequate local anesthetic volumes.
    • Recurrent shoulder dislocation repair is a common orthopedic procedure.

    Observation:

    • This report details the use of interscalene block in two patients undergoing operative repair for recurrent shoulder dislocation.
    • The study focuses on the application of this regional anesthesia technique for shoulder region surgeries.

    Findings:

    • Administration of local anesthetic into the interscalene space successfully blocks the brachial and cervical plexuses.
    • Interscalene block was utilized for the surgical repair of recurrent shoulder dislocations in the presented cases.

    Implications:

    • The interscalene block presents a viable anesthetic option for shoulder surgeries, including recurrent dislocation repair.
    • Understanding the advantages, disadvantages, and potential complications of interscalene blocks is crucial for surgeons and anesthesiologists.
    • Further investigation into the efficacy and safety profile of interscalene blocks in shoulder surgery is warranted.
