Comparison of interscalene brachial plexus block and intra-articular local anesthetic administration on postoperative pain management in arthroscopic shoulder surgery

Background and objectives: In this study, the aim was to compare postoperative analgesia effects of the administration of ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block and intra-articular bupivacaine carried out with bupivacaine. Methods: In the first group of patients 20 mL 0.25% bupivacaine...

description Background and objectives: In this study, the aim was to compare postoperative analgesia effects of the administration of ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block and intra-articular bupivacaine carried out with bupivacaine. Methods: In the first group of patients 20 mL 0.25% bupivacaine and ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block (ISPB) were applied, while 20 mL 0.25% bupivacaine was given via intra-articular (IA) administration to the second group patients after surgery. Patients in the third group were considered the control group and no block was performed. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine was used in all three groups for postoperative analgesia. Results: In the ISPB group, morphine consumption in the periods between 0–4, 6–12 and 12–24 postoperative hours and total consumption within 24 h was lower than in the other two groups. Morphine consumption in the IA group was lower than in the control group in the period from 0 to 6 h and the same was true for total morphine consumption in 24 h. Postoperative VASr scores in the ISPB group were lower than both of the other groups in the first 2 h and lower than the control group in the 4th and 6th hours (p < 0.05). In the IA group, VASr and VASm scores in the 2nd, 4th and 6th hours were lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Interscalene brachial plexus block was found to be more effective than intra-articular local anesthetic injection for postoperative analgesia. Resumo: Justificativa e objetivos: Neste estudo, o objetivo foi comparar os efeitos da analgesia no pós-operatório da administração de bloqueio do plexo braquial por via interescalênica guiado por ultrassom e bupivacaína intra-articular, realizado com bupivacaína. Métodos: No primeiro grupo de pacientes, 20 mL de bupivacaína a 0,25% e bloqueio do plexo braquial por via interescalênica guiado por ultrassom (BPBI) foram administrados, enquanto 20 mL de bupivacaína a 0,25% foram administrados por via intra-articular (IA) ao segundo grupo de pacientes após a cirurgia. Os pacientes do terceiro grupo foram considerados grupo controle e nenhum bloqueio foi realizado. Analgesia controlada pelo paciente (ACP) com morfina foi usada nos três grupos para analgesia pós-operatória. Resultados: No grupo BPBI, o consumo de morfina nos períodos entre 0-4; 6-12 e 12-24 horas após a cirurgia e o consumo total em 24 horas foram mais baixos que nos outros dois grupos. O consumo de morfina no grupo IA foi menor que no grupo controle no período de 0-6 horas, como também foi menor o consumo total de morfina em 24 horas. Os escores EVAr no pós-operatória do grupo BPBI foram menores que os escores dos dois outros grupos nas primeiras 2 horas e menores que os do grupo controle nos peródos de 4 e 6 horas (p < 0,05). No grupo IA, os escores EVAr e EVAM nos períodos de 2, 4 e 6 horas foram menores que no grupo controle (p < 0,05). Conclusão: O bloqueio do plexo braquial por via interescalênica mostrou ser mais eficaz que a injeção intra-articular de anestésico local para analgesia pós-operatória.
