Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Continuous interscalene block for analgesia following shoulder rotator cuff repair: evaluation of 2 bupivacaine concentrations applied with the same infusion technique].
To evaluate postoperative analgesia and patient satisfaction with the continuous interscalene block using 2 bupivacaine concentrations in combination with sufentanil for patients undergoing shoulder rotator cuff repair surgery. ⋯ Both the tested bupivacaine concentrations for the continuous interscalene block provided similar levels of analgesia after shoulder rotator cuff repair surgery. Reducing the bupivacaine concentration to 0.625% decreased the consumption of local anesthetic without diminishing the quality of analgesia.
