Article Synopsis
- Postoperative pain after arthroscopic shoulder surgery is difficult to manage, and this study examines the effectiveness of different nerve block techniques combined with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA).
- Sixty-one patients were split into three groups: those using PCA alone, PCA with an interscalene block (ISB), and PCA with both suprascapular and axillary nerve blocks (SSNB + ANB), with evaluations on pain levels and satisfaction.
- Results showed that PCA with SSNB + ANB provided more consistent pain relief compared to ISB and PCA alone, indicating that combining these blocks is the best option for pain management in the first 24 hours post-surgery.
