A Phase 4 interventional study of Ropivacaine in Shoulder Disease and Anesthesia, sponsored by University Hospital of North Norway. Completed at 1 site in Norway. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-01-29.

The investigators have recently shown that LSIB in combination with a suprascapular and a cervical plexus block is a very good alternative for arthroscopic shoulder surgery. However, the investigators believe the total volume of local anesthetic for LSIB may be reduced. For shoulder surgery there is no need to block the medial cord and the investigators therefore hypothesize a significantly lower MEV95% by applying a selective lateral and posterior cord block
The MEV for a successful block in 50% of the participants will be determined by using the staircase up-and-down method introduced by Dixon and Massey. Logistic regression and probit transformation will be applied to estimate the MEV for a successful block in 95% of the participants.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
