Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag av avhandlingen/ Summary of the thesis

Shoulder surgery can result in the highest pain score within orthopaedic surgery and, in absence of regional anaesthetic techniques, its postoperative pain intensity may require high consumption of opioids.

Interscalene brachial plexus block is currently the gold standard for intraoperative and postoperative pain management in patients undergoing this kind of surgery. In expert hands, it has a very high success rate, but it is associated with a wide spectrum of block-related complications, with the risk of hemidiaphragmatic paresis of prominent interest.

This thesis aims to study alternative techniques to the gold standard with special interest in the postoperative pain level, consumption of opioids and effect on the diaphragm.
