Dexmedetomidine combined with interscalene brachial plexus block has a synergistic effect on relieving postoperative pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
2019
Purpose
Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) is one of the most commonly used regional blocks in relieving postoperative pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is an alpha 2 agonist that can enhance the effect of regional blocks. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of DEX combined with ISB with ISB alone on postoperative pain, satisfaction, and pain-related cytokines within the first 48 h after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
