| Abstract | ||
| Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is often associated with severe postoperative pain that can be difficult to manage without large-dose opioids [,]. Methods Sixty patients of ASA I or II patients, presenting for arthroscopic subacromial decompression, were included in this comparative randomized study. Results There was significant reduction of heart rate and mean blood pressure in group II compared to group I from 15 min onwards. Conclusion This denotes that pre-emptive analgesia offered using portal track infiltration not only gives equipotent analgesia to that of the interscalene, but lacks significant risks and can be easily to give by the surgeon. | ||
