Effects of Technique on the Local Anesthetic Dose Required for Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block
Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB) is a common nerve block given to patients who are undergoing shoulder surgery. This block has a low, but still significant, rate of complications.

Comparison Between Interscalene and Combined Costoclavicular-suprascapular Blocks for Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery
Postoperative analgesia for shoulder surgery is typically achieved by providing an interscalene brachial plexus block. However, a very common side effect of this block is hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis, a state which may not be…
