Clinical Trial: Changes in Pulse Wave Transit Time and Its Variability After Placement of Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block

Study Status: COMPLETED

Recruit Status: COMPLETED

Condition: Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block

Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL


Official Title: Changes in Pulse Wave Transit Time and Its Variability Measured From the Ipsilateral First Finger After Placement of Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block

Brief Summary: Pulse wave transit time (PWTT) increases due to decreased arterial vascular tone resulting from sympathetic blockade caused by regional anesthesia.Its oscillation (PWTT variability) also contains information on the interaction between autonomic nervous system and the cardiovascular system.The changes in PWTT and its variability have not been investigated in patients receiving interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB).It was hypothesized that ISBPB increases PWTT and reduces low frequency power of PWTT variability.
