Interscalene Block and Dysfunction Diaphragmatic

Summary

The study seeks to show that interscalene injection of a small volume (\<8ml) of ropivacaine at a low concentration (0.1%) reduces the frequency of hemi-diaphragmatic paresis compared to low volume injection at the standard concentration (0.5%) in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery with ISB.
