Ultrasound Guided Pericapsular Nerve Block Versus iv Sedation Analgesia in Reduction of Shoulder Dislocation

Summary

When someone experiences a shoulder dislocation, it can be extremely painful. Emergency physicians often choose to use conscious sedation to help reduce the pain. However, some patients may not be able to tolerate conscious sedation due to concerns about their ability to breathe properly or the risk of inhaling fluids. A recently developed technique called Ultrasound-guided Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block is used to block the articular branches of the shoulder and the pericapsular spread around the glenohumeral joint. The PENG block is commonly used in hip surgery and is effective in providing motor-sparing analgesic results.
