What this trial studies
This study compares the perioperative characteristics of patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy with either regional anesthesia or general anesthesia. It focuses on postoperative pain scores, patient satisfaction, and surgeon satisfaction to determine the benefits of each anesthesia method. The goal is to assess how regional anesthesia can reduce opioid consumption and improve recovery outcomes compared to general anesthesia. By evaluating these factors, the study aims to provide insights into the most effective anesthesia approach for shoulder surgeries.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-80 with an ASA score of I-III and a BMI between 18-30 kg/m2.
Not a fit: Patients under 18 or over 80 years of age, those with an ASA score IV and above, or a BMI outside the 18-30 kg/m2 range may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management and recovery for patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that regional anesthesia can provide significant advantages in pain management and recovery, suggesting that this approach is promising.
