Study type
ObservationalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.

About this study
The objective of the study is to determine if there is a difference in ultrasound image quality of the interscalene block anatomy, at point of care, pre- versus post-operatively in a cohort of patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy who routinely receive blockade of the brachial plexus for postoperative analgesia.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult patients (>18 years of age) undergoing shoulder procedures involving arthroscopy who have consented to interscalene blockade for postoperative analgesia
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patient refusal
- Contraindications of interscalene blockade due to patient factors such as:
- Significant pulmonary insufficiency
- Hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis
- Brachial plexus or degenerative neuropathy
- Allergy to proposed local anesthetic medication
- Severe cervical spine disease
- BMI >40 kg/m2
- Neck Circumference > 50cm
- Failed preoperative interscalene blockade
