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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient, male or female, aged 18 and over

Patient with a supraspinatus lesion or supraspinatus and infraspinatus lesions requiring surgery for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, with a non-retracted or minimally retracted tendon (lower stage or = 2 according to the Patte score) and a muscle with little or no fat infiltration (fatty infiltration less than or = 2 according to the Goutallier classification)

Affiliated participant or beneficiary of a social security scheme.

Participant having been informed and having given their free, informed and written consent (at the latest on the day of inclusion and before any examination required by the research).

Disqualifiers

Patient with a history of surgery for the operated shoulder

Patient with stage >1 glenohumeral osteoarthritis according to the Samilson classification

Patient requiring associated subscapularis repair

Patient with a contraindication to LRA or a contraindication to GA

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair

    Procedure/Surgery

    The operation involves systematic acromioplasty during the supra +/- infraspinatus repair and sometimes requires a tenotomy of the long biceps if it is pathological.

  • naropeine or chirocaine (Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair under LRA associated to GA)

    Drug

    Loco Regional Anesthesia is performed by injecting anesthetic (between 10 and 20 ml of naropeine or chirocaine) into the interscalene nerve block under ultrasound guidance associated to General Anesthesia performed by injection of diprivan and ultiva.

  • naropeine or chirocaine (Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair under LRA)

    Drug

    Loco Regional Anesthesia is performed by injecting anesthetic (between 10 and 20 ml of naropeine or chirocaine) into the interscalene nerve block under ultrasound guidance

Treatment groups

80 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Loco regional anesthesia aloneExperimental treatment 2 interventions
Group B: Loco regional anesthesia associated to general anesthesiaActive comparator 2 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

compare systolic blood pressure (SBP) measured during surgery between patients operated for rotator cuff repair under LRA alone and those under LRA and GA.

The main evaluation criterion is the average systolic pressures, measured in the supine position, before loco-regional anesthesia, in the induction room, then in the prone position on entering the operating room, then in a semi-sitting position, and every 5 minutes during the surgery, the duration of which varies according to the patient between 30 and 45 minutes. The average of the systolic blood pressures will be calculated on the available data, with a minimum of 4 values.

Time frame
Day 0

Secondary outcomes

1

Hydraulic pressure during surgery

The difference in pressure administered by the arthrpomp between the beginning and the end of the surgery

Time frame
Day 0
2

The intensity of bleeding during surgery

The intensity of bleeding during surgery, assessed by the number of washes performed

Time frame
Day 0
3

Sedation administered to the patient during surgery

Sedation assessed by the type of sedation administered to the patient: no sedation, hypnotic sedation, morphine sedation

Time frame
Day 0
4

Patient pain after surgery

Pain is assessed by a visual analogue scale over 100 mm, measured morning and evening the first 3 days after surgery then once on day 7, day 14 and day 21 after surgery.

Time frame
Day 1 to day 21
