Mashup Score: 8
Introduction Continuous interscalene nerve block techniques are an effective form of targeted non-opioid postoperative analgesia for shoulder arthroplasty patients. One of the limiting risks, however, is potential phrenic nerve blockade with resulting hemidiaphragmatic paresis and respiratory compromise. While studies have focused on block-related technical aspects to limit the incidence of…
