The first involved a double-exposure chest X-ray, where the image of the thorax in inspiration (I) was superimposed on the same image in expiration (E), generating a double diaphragmatic line on the untreated hemisphere and a single diaphragmatic line on the blockade hemisphere.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0160"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> For many years, forced spirometry was widely used, with an average reduction of 27% (±4.3) of forced vital capacity (FVC) and 26.4% (±6.8) of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), leading guidelines to recommend avoiding interscalene blockade in patients unable to tolerate a 25% reduction in lung function.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0165"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12–14</span></a> The diagnostic approach changed, however, with the introduction of ultrasound, which can evaluate diaphragmatic movement. Pre- and post-blockade diagnostic ultrasound of the zone of apposition in inspiration, expiration and during the sniff manoeuvre has shown excellent sensitivity and specificity, and has led to a new concept: partial or incomplete blockade.

We included patients aged over 18 years, ASA I<span class="elsevierStyleSmallCaps">–</span>II, scheduled for shoulder surgery. The exclusion criteria were: refusal of or contraindication for regional anaesthesia, presence of clinical signs of infection at the puncture site, moderate to severe chronic pulmonary disease, previous diaphragmatic dysfunction, clotting abnormalities, brachial plexopathy, pregnancy, and allergy to amide-type LAs. All patients willing to participate signed a specific informed consent form.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In the block room, the patient was placed in a seated position, non-invasive pulse oximetry and arterial pressure monitoring devices were attached, and the patient was guided through at least 3 forced vital capacity spirometry manoeuvres using the portable spirometer (Datospir-120; Sibel SA, Barcelona, Spain). The best of the 3 scores was recorded as the preblockade baseline FVC and FEV1 values. The patient was then placed in the supine position, with the head raised at an angle of 30°. Both hemithoraces were explored using a portable ultrasound device (EDGE II, Sonosite, Bothell, WA, USA) with a high frequency linear transducer (6–13<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>MHz, HFL 38X, Sonosite, Bothell, Washington, USA) on the anterior axillary line to locate the resting position of the zone of apposition (lung-pleura), which was then followed to its lowest position during deep inspiration. This distance, measured in intercostal spaces, was defined as the diaphragmatic excursion. Finally, on the same anterior axillary line, the zone of apposition was identified in deep inspiration. This point was marked on the surface of the skin, and the diaphragm thickness was measured in inspiration (TI) and in expiration (TE). These measurements were used to calculate the diaphragm thickening ratio (DR: TI/TE) in both hemithoraces.</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The patient was then placed in the supine position with the arm to be treated lying next to and slightly bent over the thorax and the head rotated to the contralateral side, and the brachial plexus in the interscalene groove was visualised on ultrasound. We sought to identify the phrenic nerve and measure the distance between this and the midpoint between the ventral branches of C5–C6.</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Interscalene blockade was performed as follows: after cleaning the puncture site with 2% chlorhexidine, 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>ml of 2% lidocaine without epinephrine was administered at the level of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Using the in-plane approach, the needle was inserted and advanced from posterior to anterior under real-time ultrasound guidance and positioned at the C5 and C6 nerve roots, downstream of their fusion to form the upper trunk. In all cases, a Stimuplex D, 22<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>G<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>×<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>2″ needle measuring 0.71<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>×<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>50<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm in length connected to a peripheral nerve neurostimulator was used (Stimuplex, HNS 12, B. Braun, Melgunsen, Germany). The neurostimulator was set to an intensity of 0.3<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mA (2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>Hz and 100<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>μs), and absence of motor or sensory response confirmed correct location. A total of 20<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>ml ropivacaine 0.5% without epinephrine was administered, aiming to spread the LA between the 2 nerve roots.</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">After administration of the LA, and during onset of the blockade, sensitivity and muscle strength were evaluated at 10 and 20<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>min. Sensitivity was tested using the pinprick test at the level of the dermatomes of C4 to T1: C4 was tested in the upper part of the acromioclavicular joint, C5 at the insertion of the deltoid muscle tendon, C6 in the dorsal web space between the thumb and first fingers, C7 at the tip of the middle finger, C8 in the little finger and T1 in the medial part of the antecubital fossa. Each pinprick was scored as follows: total loss of sensation (0); decreased sensation, no response to painful stimuli (1); decreased sensation, paraesthesias with response to painful stimuli (2); intact sensation (3). Muscle strength was evaluated by asking the patient to move the body segment in a certain direction against resistance (C5: arm abduction, C6: forearm flexion, C7: forearm extension and C8-T1: finger flexion). Motor blockade level was scored on a scale of 4: 0 (no movement), 1 (limited movement, no response against resistance); 2 (limited movement, response against resistance); and 3 (full range of movement). Successful interscalene block was defined as a score or 1 or less for sensory and motor tests at C4, C5 and C6.</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Twenty minutes after completion of the blockade, spirometry and bilateral postblockade measurement of diaphragmatic excursion, TI, TE and DR were re-measured under the conditions previously described. These data were compared with the baseline or pre-blockade measurements.</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In spirometry, phrenic paresis was defined as a ≥20% reduction in FVC and FEV1. Regarding diaphragmatic excursion, complete paresis was defined as >75% reduction in diaphragmatic excursion, no movement or paradoxical movement of the diaphragm; partial paresis was defined as between 25% and 75% reduction in movement; and absence of paresis was defined as diaphragmatic movement equal to baseline, or with a reduction of less than 25%.

In this regard, our findings are consistent with Boom et al., who showed that diaphragm thickness measurement has a specificity of 100% and a sensitivity of 93% for the diagnosis of chronic diaphragmatic dysfunction due to phrenic neuropathy.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0205"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20</span></a></p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The cut point used in our study is derived from previous studies measuring diaphragm thickness in healthy volunteers, which define normal diaphragm thickness as greater than 0.14<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm; a thickness of less than 0.14<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm indicates diaphragm atrophy. These studies have also defined the normal diaphragm thickening ratio as over 1.2.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0210"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> Considering that the diaphragm thickening ratio is calculated by dividing the maximum or deep inspiratory thickness by the minimum or expiratory thickness (DR: TI/TE), a ratio of 1 indicates less changes in diaphragm thickness during breathing, in other words, less contraction.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is striking that 2 patients presented a baseline diaphragm thickness of less than 0.14<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm (diaphragm atrophy), even though their diaphragm ratio was over 1.2.

Nine patients presented a post-blockade diaphragm thickness of less than 0.14-cm, although pre-blockade measurements were normal (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0045">Fig. 9</a>): we attributed this to total loss of diaphragm muscle tone.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0045"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study has some limitations, insofar as the sample size was small and the rater was not blinded, in other words, the same individual performed the spirometric measurements, evaluated diaphragmatic excursion and calculated diaphragm thickness. Moreover, despite many attempts to standardise B-mode ultrasound evaluation of the diaphragm by establishing, for example, patient positioning and the level of the transducer,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> other factors, such as the operator's experience, the presence of abundant panniculus adiposus, short, wide thorax with narrow intercostal spaces, and left-sided measurements, where the window is also reduced, can affect the quality of the measurements. In our case, 2 left diaphragm measurements had to be performed more posterior, between the middle and posterior axillary line, in order to visualise the diaphragm. The quality of this measurement, therefore, is operator-dependent to a certain extent because it requires training.</p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Ultrasound measurement of diaphragm thickness is a highly useful tool in many situations. Diaphragm thickness has shown a correlation with FVC and muscle action potentials in patients with neuromuscular disorders, such as aminotrophic lateral sclerosis.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0190"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> The correlation observed between diaphragm thickness and diaphragm contractility have prompted some researchers evaluate this phenomenon in ventilated patients, and to evaluate the correlation between changes in diaphragm thickness and lung function.

Measuring diaphragmatic excursion by counting the intercostal spaces reached during I and E manoeuvres is an effective technique for diagnosing diaphragmatic paralysis; however, it relies on a baseline excursion measurement, as many patients present partial paralysis (reduction of 25–75% with respect to baseline). In this context, direct measurement of diaphragm muscle thickness should be considered, given the high sensitivity of an I/E diaphragm thickening ratio of less than 1.2 to diagnose phrenic paresis. This ratio, moreover, does not rely on a pre-blockade baseline evaluation, making it a useful tool in the differential diagnosis of diaphragmatic paresis in relation to other processes that could cause post-blockade respiratory failure, such as pneumothorax or recurrent nerve paralysis.</p><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion, the <1.2 I/E diaphragm thickening ratio appears to be useful in the diagnosis of phrenic paresis associated with interscalene block, and does not rely on pre-blockade baseline evaluation.
