About this trial
The purpose of this study, called a cross-sectional survey, is to interview patients on their experiences of pain and recovery following keyhole shoulder surgery, after receiving a single shot nerve block in addition to a general anesthetic. The researchers would like to explore patients' experiences to see if there are groups of patients who may benefit from insertion of a nerve catheter as compared to a single shot nerve block injection for keyhole shoulder surgery.

To determine predictive factors for catheter preference based on pre-operative anxiety defined by the PROMIS Anxiety Scale short form 8a
PROMIS Anxiety Scale measures self-reported anxiety traits based on 8 questions. Each question are rated on a 5-point scale (1-5) to get a total score between 5-40
Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 1 year4
To determine predictive factors for catheter preference based on pre-operative frailty
Frail scale evaluates five areas assigning 1 point for each if present and zero if absent. Total score 0-5. Robust=0; Pre-frail=1-2 and Frail=3-5
