AI Article Synopsis
- Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB) is an effective pain management technique for shoulder surgery but has some drawbacks, such as short-lasting pain relief and possible side effects like diaphragmatic weakness and nerve damage.
- Due to these limitations, there is a growing interest among clinicians to find alternative pain relief methods to better suit individual patient needs.
- This mini-review summarizes the latest developments in ISBPB and shares clinical insights from shoulder surgery experiences.
Article Abstract
Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB) provides optimal analgesia for shoulder surgery. However, several limitations still exist, including the short duration of analgesia, rebound pain, a high incidence of unilateral diaphragmatic paresis, and potential risk of nerve damage, prompting the search for alternative techniques. Many alternatives to ISBPB have been studied to alleviate these concerns, and clinicians should choose an appropriate option based on the patient's condition. In this mini-review, we aimed to present recent updates on ISBPB while discussing our clinical experiences in shoulder surgery.
