Randomized Controlled Trial[A study on diaphragm function after interscalene brachial plexus block using a fixed dose of ropivacaine with different concentrations].
To compare the effect of interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB) on the incidence of diaphragmatic paralysis, respiratory function and post-operative pain control using same dosage of local anesthetics diluted into two different volume and concentrations. ⋯ The use of 0.5% and 0.25% ropivacaine 50 mg for interscalene block provides similar effect on the incidence of diaphragmatic paralysis, changes in respiratory function and postoperative analgesia.
