About this trial
This study aims to determine the minimum effective volume (MEV90) of local anesthetic required to achieve sensory block of the supraclavicular nerves when performing a single-shot ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB). These nerves provide sensation to the skin over the clavicle and shoulder and are often involved in surgeries such as shoulder arthroscopy and clavicle repair.
