Regional anaesthesia for shoulder surgery - new trendsReview Article

This review of anaesthetic techniques used in shoulder surgery is based on considerations of the neuroanatomy of the surgical field and describes the traditional methods in anaesthetic care for patients undergoing shoulder surgery. A particularly detailed section of this article is dedicated to the recent developments in the field, especially to peripheral nerve blockades. An additional focus of this review is optimising postoperative analgesia whilst reducing the risk of the phrenic nerve block and ensuring a minimal upper limb motor impairment in the recovery period. The conclusion section discusses the current trend in anaesthetic care for this subgroup of patients.

Keywords: peripheral nerve block; regional anaesthesia; suprascapular nerve; postoperative analgesia
