Ultrasound Guided Continuous Suprascapular Nerve Block With methyl prednisolone and marcaine
"The high frequency linear ultrasound transducer (Sonosite 6-13 MHz) in a transverse orientation will be placed over the scapular Spine.~Moving the transducer cephalad the suprascapular fossa will be identified. 18 gauge touhy needle will be inserted in plane after subcutaneous local anesthesia infiltration with 1 ml lidocaine 2% Real-time imaging will be used to direct injection of 2 ml lidocaine 2% to test perineural spread of injectate after confirmation of the position of tip of needle injection of 40mg methyl prednisolone diluted in 5 ml bupivacaine 0.5% will be done through the needle to anesthetize the nerve and create space for catheter insertion. After catheter insertion another 2 ml lidocaine 2% will be injected through the catheter to confirm position perineural in the scapular notch. Lastly Catheter will be fixed via skin tunnel and secured with skin sutures and adhesive tap."
