Implication

Randomized trial indicates suprascapular nerve block reduces adverse events in shoulder surgery patients, suggesting safer analgesic options.

Key Points

  • SHAC-SSnb showed non-inferior postoperative opioid consumption over 48 hours compared to ISB.
  • The primary outcome of pain intensity was assessed using the numerical rating scale during recovery.
  • Randomized controlled trial demonstrated the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve block.
  • Findings highlight potential benefits of SHAC-SSnb for managing adverse events associated with ISB.
