Summary
The aim of this study was to assess the out-of-plane versus the in-plane approaches for the
interscalene brachial plexus block; as regards the performance time, the onset, the
progression and the recovery of sensory block, the onset and progression of the motor block
as well as, the postoperative pain score and the duration of analgesia for arthroscopic
shoulder surgery. A total of 60 patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)
physical status I-II were randomly divided to receive either the in-plane approach (Group I),
or the out-of-plane approach (Group O).
