ESRA19-0543 Analgesic effects of dexamethasone when given perineurally or intravenously in the upper arm bone fracture and shoulder joint surgery
2019
Background and aims Shoulder surgery is associated with severe pain. Pain delays rehabilitation and lowers quality of life. Finding adjuvants to the LA to improve analgesia and facilitate mobilization has been the focus of researchers recently. The aim of this work was to investigate which administration methods—dexamethasone perineural or intravenously—prevents pain more effectively. Methods Prospective, randomized study conducted at Hospital of Traumatology and Orthopaedics after ethics committee approval. Study involved 75 patients with upper limb fracture or shoulder joint surgery in RA and GA. Group I: Bupivacaine 0.25% 70 mg + Dexamethasone 8 mg perineurally Group II: Bupivacaine 0.25…

In this investigation [1], the authors evaluated among other objectives, the analgesic efficacy and the duration of analgesia from a cohort of 60 patients for arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The gro...
Influence of Beach Chair Position on Cerebral Oxygen Saturation
2013
Although beach chair position (BCP) is frequently used for shoulder surgery, a potentially detrimental influence on cerebral oxygenation is discussed. Therefore, the present study investigated changes in regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2/StO2) during BCP comparing 2 different devices for near-infrared spectroscopy measurement.Data were collected in 35 patients undergoing shoulder surgery in BCP and compared with a control group of 35 awake volunteers. The rSO2/StO2 was assessed using INVOS and FORE-SIGHT monitors. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), PeCO2, FiO2, end-tidal sevoflurane concentration, and rSO2/StO2 were measured before positioning, …
