Summary

This prospective observational study was conducted to evaluate the effects of a combined infraclavicular brachial plexus block and anterior suprascapular nerve block on diaphragmatic function in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. A total of 61 adult patients were enrolled in the study. Diaphragmatic excursion was assessed using ultrasonography both prior to block administration and 30 minutes following the procedure during normal and deep breathing. The primary objective was to assess changes in diaphragmatic excursion and determine the incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis associated with this combined block technique. Secondary outcomes included block performance time, duration of postoperative analgesia, the need for additional intraoperative sedation or analgesia, the occurrence of adverse events, and levels of patient and surgeon satisfaction. The study sought to determine whether this regional anesthesia approach could provide effective anesthesia and analgesia while minimizing impairment of diaphragmatic function.
