• A combination of infraclavicular and suprascapular nerve blocks for total shoulder arthroplasty: A case series 

      Musso, Dario Davide; Klaastad, Øivind; Ytrebø, Lars Marius (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-27)
      Background - Shoulder arthroplasty is associated with significant post-operative pain. Interscalene plexus block is the gold standard for pain management in patients undergoing this surgery, however, alternatives are currently being developed. We hypothesized that a combination of anterior suprascapular nerve block and lateral sagittal infraclavicular block would provide effective post-operative ...
    • A novel combination of peripheral nerve blocks for arthroscopic shoulder surgery

      <p><i>Background - </i>Interscalene brachial plexus block is currently the gold standard for intra‐ and post‐operative pain management for patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. However, it is associated with block related complications, of which effect on the phrenic nerve have been of most interest. Side effects caused by general anesthesia, when this is required, are also a concern. ...
    • Peripheral nerve blocks for shoulder surgery - Periclavicular approaches in the pursuit of a diaphragm-sparing technique 

      Musso, Dario Davide (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-09-03)
      <p>Background: Interscalene block is the gold standard for analgesia after shoulder surgery. However, it is associated with some block-related complications, especially the risk of hemidiaphragmatic paresis. In study I, we hypothesized that a more distal combination of nerve blocks would provide a feasible alternative to the gold standard. Study II was designed to optimize one of the components of ...
