About this trial

Damage to the tendons of the shoulder, called rotator cuff, causes pain and loss of strength that may require surgery. This operation is performed under general anesthesia combined with loco-regional anesthesia of the shoulder. Indeed, this loco-regional anesthesia makes it possible to specifically suppress the sensation of pain in the shoulder for several hours after surgery. General anesthesia is produced by injecting drugs intravenously and breathing anesthetic vapors. Repair of the rotator cuff under loco-regional anesthesia alone is performed by several surgeons in France and is recommended by international experts. If blood pressure is artificially lowered during general anesthesia, loco-regional anesthesia alone allows maintenance of blood pressure and real-time clinical assessment since the patient is conscious.

The purpose of the research is to compare the blood pressure measured during surgery of patients operated under loco-regional anesthesia alone or associated with general anesthesia, two common practices of surgical teams.
