Ventilation and Pulmonary Aeration, Electrical Impedance Tomography, Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block

June 24, 2018 updated by: Leonardo Henrique Cunha Ferraro, Federal University of São Paulo

Evaluation of Variation of Ventilation and Pulmonary Aeration Using Electrical Impedance Tomography in Patients With Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block for Shoulder Surgery

Patients with indication of shoulder surgery will be submitted to ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block with 4ml or 15ml of bupivacaine- epinephrine 0,5%- 1:200,000 at level of C5-6 roots and will be evaluated their ventilation and pulmonary aeration by electrical impedance tomography
