Respiratory impact of analgesic strategies for shoulder surgery.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Despite ultrasound (US) guidance, sciatic nerve block (SNB) remains among the least performed peripheral blocks. By targeting the tissue plane between the gluteus maximus and quadratus femoris muscles, the US-guided subgluteal space technique may facilitate the performance of US-guided SNB. We...
