摘要
We present two cases in which an ultrasound-guided interscalene block was immediately effective for severe postthoracotomy ipsilateral shoulder pain. The block resulted in no related complications, and it provided long-lasting relief and a high degree of patient satisfaction. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
