It is innervated by the phrenic nerves, which have their origin in the anterior rami of C3–C5. Both nerves descend through the neck to the anterior scalene muscle and then through the thorax to reach the diaphragm. Brachial plexus block is a standard technique for major shoulder surgery; however, no supraclaviclar techniques have been shown to reduce the phrenic nerve block rate to below 20%.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1–4,7</span></a> Phrenic nerve block affects breathing by causing equally intense paralysis of the ipsilateral hemidiaphragm, which significantly diminishes forced vital capacity.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> In healthy patients, the loss of function of a hemidiaphragm does not usually have clinical repercussions; however, it can sometimes lead to postoperative respiratory complications (especially in patients with prior altered respiratory function). In these cases, a rapid, sensitive and specific diagnostic tool is needed for prompt diagnosis that can prevent the appearance of complications in the immediate postoperative period. We present a clinical report in which ultrasound was used to obtain a rapid evaluation of diaphragm function in the presence of high suspicion of paralysis due to phrenic nerve block after continuous interscalene block.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0030">Case report</span><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The patient was a 68-year-old woman who underwent surgery to insert an inverted right shoulder prosthesis due to glenohumeral osteoarthritis.

Weight: 65<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>kg, height: 158<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm, body mass index: 26. ASA class II An interscalene catheter was inserted under ultrasound guidance for administration of 10<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cc levobupivacaine 0.375%, and the intervention was performed under general anaesthesia.

Given the high suspicion of phrenic nerve block and the possibility respiratory complications, a point-of-care ultrasound was performed to evaluate diaphragmatic function. Diaphragmatic excursion (DE) was measured in both hemispheres using a convex transducer placed on the midline in the subcostal region. The difference between maximum inspiration and maximum expiration was measured in M mode in millimetres (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>). Right sided DE was 7.9<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm and left sided DE was 56.5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm. The ultrasound data allowed us to confirm complete paralysis of the hemidiaphragm ipsilateral to the block. This technique yielded a quick, specific diagnosis in the immediate postoperative period, and gave us the information needed to predict the onset of iatrogenic respiratory complications. The initial measures included immediate removal of the interscalene catheter, administration of oxygen therapy using a Ventimask at an FiO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span> of 50%, and intensive monitoring during the first few postoperative hours.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Thanks to the early diagnosis and the measures taken, the patient's remaining stay in the PACU was uneventful.

However, some patients with no prior history, such as the case reported here, can present clinical signs of respiratory failure, which is why early diagnosis and treatment are so important.

It can rapidly detect phrenic paralysis after interscalene block in upper limb surgery<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8,9</span></a> (particularly in patients at risk of developing postoperative respiratory complications). Some studies have also described its role in predicting successful mechanical ventilation weaning in critically ill patients,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4,7,8</span></a> and the technique has been used to diagnose diaphragm dysfunction after abdominal,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> cardiac, and thoracic surgery. Phrenic nerve block or injury can be associated with acute complications in the immediate postoperative period, hence the importance of a diagnostic tool that can quickly and accurately confirm or rule out this complication.

Immediate diagnosis of diaphragm function by ultrasound measurement of SF and DE can give an early indication of possible postoperative respiratory complication. Furthermore, ultrasound, which is an inexpensive, rapid and safe technique, can be used to identify diaphragmatic hypokinesia in patients undergoing upper limb surgery prior to administering nerve block, which is contraindicated in this population due to the high risk of triggering serious complications.</p></span><span id="sec0020" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0040">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:9 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres1124175" "titulo" => "Abstract" "secciones" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "identificador" => "abst0005" ] ] ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1058850" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres1124176" "titulo" => "Resumen" "secciones" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "identificador" => "abst0010" ] ] ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1058849" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Case report" ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Conflicts of interest" ] 8 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2018-04-09" "fechaAceptado" => "2018-05-31" "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1058850" "palabras" => array:4 [ 0 => "Diaphragmatic ultrasound" 1 => "Interscalene block" 2 => "Phrenic nerve" 3 => "Post-operative respiratory complications" ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1058849" "palabras" => array:4 [ 0 => "Ecografía diafragmática" 1 => "Bloqueo interescalénico" 2 => "Nervio frénico" 3 => "Complicaciones respiratorias postoperatorias" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:2 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><p id="spar0005" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Phrenic nerve block is a complication that can occur after brachial plexus anaesthesia above the clavicle.
