Brief Summary    

Interscalene nerve block (ISB) has been commonly used as a sole anaesthetic technique and also alleviate postoperative pain and provide optimal analgesia during shoulder and upper arm surgeries. Ultrasound-guided interscalene nerve block (UISB) can reduce opioid use and its concomitant opioid-related adverse effects such as pruritus, nausea, vomiting, consciousness disturbance, and constipation. However, these trials focused mainly on the postoperative opioid-sparing effects of nerve blocks and did not show an impact on the intraoperative consumption of volatile anesthetics and opioids .   

Desflurane is a newer inhalational anaesthetic with minimal metabolism in the human body, and is associated with rapid recovery.Opioid consumption was reduced using a single ISB at the day of surgery They found that ISB is superior to GA and GA + ISB in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy in terms of faster recovery and analgesics consumption.
