Hemi-diaphragmatic paresis following extrafascial versus conventional intrafascial approach for interscalene brachial plexus block: A double-blind randomised, controlled trial

Hemi-diaphragmatic paresis following extrafascial versus conventional intrafascial approach for interscalene brachial plexus block: A double-blind randomised, controlled trial

Background and Aims: Hemidiaphragmatic paresis occurs in almost all patients undergoing interscalene block for proximal upper limb surgeries. This study tested hypothesis that ultrasound-guided extrafascial approach of interscalene block under nerve stimulator guidance reduces incidence of hemidiaph...
