| Abstract |
Shoulder surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain in many patients. The use of an interscalene nerve block offers good analgesia but is associated with a high incidence of an ipsilateral phrenic nerve block. Several strategies to avoid this adverse effect have been studied. Possible strategies are (1) using very low volumes of local anesthetics, (2) targeting the brachial plexus at a lower level in the neck, (3) applying a suprascapular nerve block, and (4) applying the combination of a suprascapular and an axillary nerve block. Using systemic analgesics is a less favorable strategy because this may result in less potent analgesia and may cause more adverse effects, including respiratory depression and nausea. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 May 2020.
All research outputs
#7,204,326
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine
#1,006
of 2,570 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#71,131
of 288,986 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine
#21
of 138 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,570 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 288,986 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 138 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
