Diaphragmatic Paralysis in Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery

Completed
Conditions
Analgesia
Dyspnea
Hypoxia
Registration Number
NCT03192865
Lead Sponsor
Clinique Medipole Garonne
Brief Summary

This study aims to assess consequences and causes of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis for ambulatory arthroscopic shoulder surgery in patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m².

Detailed Description

This prospective observational study will screen patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m² undergoing acromioplasty or supraspinatus tendon repair. Occurrence of post-operative hemidiaphragmatic paralysis will be observed using M-mode ultrasonography and its consequences on patient ventilation: arterial oxygen saturation, dyspnea, success of ambulatory procedure. Causes of diaphragmatic paralysis will be analyzed.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Failure of outpatient arthroscopic shoulder surgery strategythe first 6 hours

failure of outpatient arthroscopic shoulder surgery strategy is communly associated with dyspnea or hypoxia due to diaphragmatic paralysis

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assessment of peripheral nerve block strategy associated with diaphragmatic paralysisthe first 2 hours

Different strategies of peripheral nerve block can be proposed for post-operative pain relief in arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

All strategies were grouped in 3 parts:

* Interscalene block with high volume of local anesthetics

* Interscalene block with low volume of local anesthetics

* distal block
