| ISB | PROCEDURE | In SISB group; a 5 cm block needle (Stimuplex®A, B Braun Medical, Bethlehem, PA) was inserted in-plane in order to place the needle tip between the upper and middle trunks of the brachial plexus (C5-C6). 20 mL 0.5% ropivacaine was injected through the needle. For CISB, a 5cm stimulating needle (Contiplex® Tuohy, B. Braun Medical, Bethlehem, PA) was inserted in-plane in order to place the needle tip between the upper and middle trunks of the brachial plexus (C5-C6). A nonstimulating catheter was inserted approximately 3 cm beyond the tip of the needle. 20 mL 0.5% ropivacaine was injected through the catheter. |
