Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Anterior suprascapular nerve block  Group AS will be receiving Anterior suprascapular nerve block. All patients are placed in supine position with head turned to the contralateral side. A linear array ultrasound probe (8–13MHz, M Turbo, Sono Site Inc., USA) is placed in transverse plane on the side of neck to visualize the C5 root of brachial plexus. The probe is moved laterally and suprascapular nerve is identified emerging from the superior trunk. Suprascapular nerve is traced laterally until it lies posteriorly to the omohyoid muscle in the supraclavicular fossa. After the skin infiltration with local anesthetic 1% lignocaine using 25G needle. Thereafter a 22G 100mm short beveled nerve block needle is introduced from the lateral side of probe and 10ml of 0.5% levobupivacaine will be injected slowly after negative aspiration.Diaphragmatic excursion using ultrasound and pulmonary function tests as determined by Forced expiratory volume in first second, Forced vital capacity are measured at preblock, post-block 30minutes and post-operatively 1hr. 
Comparator Agent  Interscalene brachial plexus block  Group IS will be receiving ultrasound guided interscalene brachial plexus block. A linear array ultrasound probe (8–13MHz, M Turbo, Sono Site Inc., USA) will be placed first to obtain an image of sternocleidomastoid and scalene muscle. Followed by identification of brachial plexus nerve as the most hypoechoic nerve structures lying in the groove. C5-C6 roots will be confirmed by tracing and seeing them joining to form the superior trunk of the brachial plexus. After the skin infiltration with local anesthetic 1% lignocaine using 25 G needle, Thereafter a 22 G, 50 mm short beveled nerve block needle will be introduced from the lateral side of the probe to reach between the anterior and middle scalene muscle. Needle tip will be adjusted caudally toward the C6 trunk, 10 ml of 0.5% levobupivacaine will be injected slowly after negative aspiration.Diaphragmatic excursion using ultrasound and pulmonary function tests as determined by Forced expiratory volume in first second, Forced vital capacity are measured at preblock, post-block 30minutes and post-operatively 1hr. 
Intervention  Posterior suprascapular nerve block  Group PS will be receiving Posterior suprascapular nerve block. All patients are in a seated position and linear array ultrasound probe (8–13MHz, M Turbo, Sono Site Inc., USA) is placed parallel to the scapula spine. Transducer is then moved cranially to locate the suprascapular fossa. Supraspinatus muscle is identified and transducer is moved laterally and suprascapular notch is visualized. Suprascapular nerve is identified as a hyperechoeic structure beneath the transverse scapular ligament in the suprascapular notch. After the skin infiltration with local anesthetic 1% lignocaine using 25G needle. Thereafter a 22G 100mm short beveled nerve block needle is introduced with medial to lateral approach and 10ml of 0.5% levobupivacaine will be injected slowly after negative aspiration. Diaphragmatic excursion using ultrasound and pulmonary function tests as determined by Forced expiratory volume in first second, Forced vital capacity are measured at preblock, post-block 30minutes and post-operatively 1hr.

Brief Summary   This is a randomized comparative study to compare the incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paresis and analgesic efficacy after Ultrasound guided interscalene brachial plexus, anterior suprascapular and posterior suprascapular nerve block in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anaesthesia with the hypothesis that the incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paresis is less after posterior approach of suprascapular nerve block as compared to anterior approach of suprascapular nerve block and interscalene brachial plexus block plexus in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery while providing noninferior analgesia. 
Primarily hemidiaphragmatic paresis is determined by Forced expiratory volume in first second, Forced vital capacity and diaphragmatic excursion at pre-block, post-block 30 minutes and 1st hour post-operatively. Secondarily analgesic efficacy is compared with regards to 1)Total fentanyl requirements during intraoperative period. 2)Numerical rating scale (NRS) pain score. 3)Time taken to first rescue analgesia demand. 4)Total tramadol consumption during first 24 hours of postoperative period. Numerical rating scale (NRS) pain score is measured at immediate post-operatively, 1st hour post-operatively, 6th hour post-operatively, 12th hour post-operatively and 24th hour post-operatively.
