Effect of Local Anesthetic Dose on Interscalene Block for Shoulder Arthroscopy, Patient Satisfaction and Return of Handgrip Strength
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Low Dose (20 ml) Local Anesthetic Volume for Interscalene Block, Control Dose (40 mL) Local Anesthetic Volume for Interscalene Block, and 2 other interventions for Shoulder Arthroscopy and Interscalene Block. Completed, enrolled 154 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if a decrease in the standard volume of local anesthetic used to numb your shoulder area before shoulder arthroscopy will provide adequate anesthesia for the procedure and decrease the amount of time until you are ready for discharge from the hospital.
