The purpose of this study was to determine the association between the anatomical characteristics of neck and postoperative diaphragmatic paralysis in patients undergoing interscalene brachial plexus block before shoulder arthroscopic surgery.
The purpose of this study was to determine the association between the anatomical characteristics of neck and postoperative diaphragmatic paralysis in patients undergoing interscalene brachial plexus block before shoulder arthroscopic surgery. In addition, we want to identify risk factors for diaphragmatic paralysis after brachial plexus block. Through this study, we can find the basis for predicting the possibility of diaphragmatic paralysis after brachial plexus block according to the patient's anatomical characteristics and procedural factors.

Adult patients over 19 years undergoing shoulder arthroscopic surgery for a rotator cuff tear repair under general anesthesia
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients who refused to participate in the trial
Patients with respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Patients with neurological abnormalities of the upper limb
Patients with a history of surgery around the neck on the ipsilateral side of the surgery site, radiation treatment history, etc.
Interscalene brachial plexus block is performed at ipsilateral side of the affected shoulder.
Phrenic nerve palsy
Ultrasound is used to check the movement of the diaphragm on the operation side. The movement of the diaphragm is measured in centimeters when checked with M-mode in a forceful sniffing state.
Time frame: 10 minutes after the end of surgery
Neck length
The neck length is measured by drawing a straight line from the mandible angle on the side to the middle point of the clavicle with a tape measure.
Time frame: Before induction, 1-2 minutes
Neck girth
The neck circumference length is measured by a tape ruler over the upper plane of the spinous process of the 7th cervical spine at the back and the lower plane of the thyroid cartilage at the front side in the patient's sitting position.
Time frame: Before induction, 1-2 minutes
Height
Height (cm)
Time frame: At admission, 1-2 minutes

Time frame: At admission, 1-2 minutes
