简要总结
Hemi-diaphragmatic palsy is a common undesirable effect of interscalene block, with an incidence of up to 100%. Mechanism of palsy is thought to be related to spread of local anaesthetic anterior to the anterior scalene muscle. We hypothesize that by injecting saline in this anatomical location prior to performing an interscalene block the incidence of phrenic palsy will be reduced.
详细描述
Patients will be randomised to either group S (saline group) or group C (conventional group) by computer generated random numbers and allocation will be enclosed in sealed envelope. Anaesthetist performing and/or supervising the block will be the only personnel who will be aware of the randomisation. Patients will be blinded to the study group. Intraoperative management of the case will be done by an anaesthetist blinded to the study group. Outcome measurements will be recorded by study observers blinded to the group allocation.
ISB protocol Following written informed consent, the patient will have routine monitors attached (ECG, Pulse oximeter and non-invasive blood pressure). Intravenous access will be secured and patients will be placed in 45 degree head-up position for the block with head turned to the non-operative side. Intravenous sedation with Midazolam (2 mg) and fentanyl (50 to 100 microgram) will be administered to all patients prior to the block. The ultrasound machine will be positioned on the side opposite to the block. Skin will be prepped with 2% Chlorhexidine (Chloraprep) following which the block will be performed under strict aseptic precautions with the anesthetist wearing a mask and sterile gloves. The high frequency linear probe (sonosite) will be aligned transversely across the neck at the interscalene level to identify C5 and C6 nerve roots. 2% lidocaine will be used for skin infiltration and "stop before block" performed prior to insertion of block needle. In plane posterior approach will be used with a 50 mm short bevel block needle (Braun) advanced through middle scalene muscle. Following this, the technique differs between the two groups.
In group C, the needle tip will then be positioned between C5 and C6 nerve roots. At this location, 15 ml of 0.25% levobupivacaine will be injected in 5 ml increments with intermittent aspiration. The needle tip will not be repositioned unless the patient complaints of paraesthesia.
In group S, at the same level chosen for interscalene block, needle tip will be positioned anterior to anterior scalene muscle. At this location 10 ml 0.9% saline will be injected. This will then be followed by repositioning of needle between roots of C5 and C6 where 15 ml of 0.25% levobupivacaine will be injected in 5 ml increments with intermittent aspiration. The needle tip will not be repositioned unless the patient complaints of paraesthesia.

研究组 & 干预措施
Group S (saline group)
In plane posterior approach will be used with a 50mm short bevel block needle (Braun), advanced through the middle scalene muscle. At the location chosen for interscalene block the needle tip will be positioned anterior to the anterior scalene muscle. At this point 10ml of 0.9% saline will be injected. This will be followed by repositioning of the needle between roots C5 and C6 where 20 ml of 0.25% levobupivicaine will be injected in 5ml increments with intermittent aspiration.
