- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The goal of this study was to compare the influence of an interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) performed with either bupivacaine or levobupivacaine in conjunction with general anaesthesia (GA) on desflurane consumption.The desflurane was administered by a Sigma Alpha vaporizer (Penlon Limited, UK), and the amount used was measured in milliliters after completion of each surgical procedure by refilling the vaporizer, which initially had been completely full. [The first time point is the eye opening time after surgery.<br>It will be assessed at post anesthetic care unit.]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The secondary outcome isanalgesic requirements after surgery .Patient satisfaction (0 = not satisfied, 1 = moderate, 2 = good, 3 = very good) and postoperative pain scores [using a 10 cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in which 0 cm = no pain and 10 cm = the worst pain imaginable] were evaluated on arrival at the PACU and at two, four, six, eight, and 24 hours after surgery. [the first day after surgery ]
