Shoulder Arthroscopy in the Beach Chair Position.

ABSTRACT: Arthroscopic shoulder surgery can be performed in both the beach chair and lateral decubitus positions. The beach chair position is a reliable, safe, and effective position to perform nearly all types of shoulder arthroscopic procedures. The advantages of the beach chair position include the ease of setup, limited brachial plexus stress, increased glenohumeral and subacromial visualization, anesthesia flexibility, and the ability to easily convert to an open procedure. This position is most commonly used for rotator cuff repair, subacromial decompression, and superior labrum anterior-to-posterior repair procedures. To perform arthroscopy surgery in the beach chair position successfully, meticulous care during patient positioning and setup must be taken. In this Technical Note, we describe the necessary steps to safely and efficiently prepare patients in the beach chair position for arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Great auricular neuropraxia with beach chair position.

Project description:Shoulder arthroscopy has been shown to be the procedure of choice for many diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Neuropraxia of the great auricular nerve (GAN) is an uncommon complication of shoulder surgery, with the patient in the beach chair position. We report a case of great auricular neuropraxia associated with direct compression by a horseshoe headrest, used in routine positioning for uncomplicated shoulder surgery. In this case, an arthroscopic approach was taken, under regional anesthesia with sedation in the beach chair position. The GAN, a superficial branch of the cervical plexus, is vulnerable to neuropraxia due to its superficial anatomical location. We recommend that for the procedures of the beach chair position, the auricle be protected and covered with cotton and gauze to avoid direct compression and the position of the head and neck be checked and corrected frequently.

Sevoflurane versus isoflurane in shoulder arthroscopy in beach chair position in patients with prior interscalene brachial plexus block: A prospective randomised equivalency-based haemodynamic evaluation trial.

Project description:Background and aimsThere is a paucity of literature on comparative effects of different inhalational anaesthetics in beach chair position (BCP) for shoulder arthroscopy. We aimed to investigate and compare the haemodynamic effects, anaesthetic and surgical outcomes between two inhalational agents.MethodsIn this randomised study, patients of age 18-60 years, were allotted to two groups (29, sevoflurane and 28, isoflurane) and received protocol-based anaesthesia. Intraoperatively, different haemodynamic and other data were recorded.ResultsAll mean of averages of individual subject's vitals were comparable between the groups [P = 0.681, 0.325, 0.803, and 0.051, respectively for systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean blood pressure (MBP) and heart rate (HR)]. Higher mean HR was recorded for maximum readings of isoflurane (P = 0.028). Equivalency was observed for SBP, MBP, and DBP (P = 0.000, 002, and 0.027, respectively). Process capability indices indicated that sevoflurane had better values (Pp: 0.55 versus 0.41, Ppk: 0.35 versus 0.22) for SBP as with MBP (Pp: 0.62 versus 0.51, Ppk: 0.36 versus 0.33). For achieving optimal vision, higher pump pressures (PPs) were demanded by surgeon (P = 0.025) and higher differences observed between initial and highest PPs (P = 0.027), in isoflurane subjects. Multivariable analysis revealed that no continuous predictor was able to predict the quality of vision except additional pump flow factor, for both groups.ConclusionBoth inhalational agents demonstrated equivalent haemodynamic effects. Increased arthroscopic PP requirements were observed with isoflurane anaesthesia. Sevoflurane may be superior to isoflurane during BCP arthroscopy.

Shoulder surgery in beach chair position causing perioperative stroke: Four cases and a review of the literature.

Project description:Perioperative stroke is a rare, but serious complication in shoulder-arthroscopy or arthroplasty. Recent literature suggests the beach chair position, widely used during shoulder surgery, might induce severe perioperative hypotension, and with this cerebral desaturation and ultimately perioperative stroke. In this article we report four cases of perioperative stroke in shoulder surgery. In all cases, patients underwent brief periods of hypotension, which might have caused perioperative stroke. Based on an analysis in our hospital, we think the prevalence of perioperative stroke during shoulder surgery is higher than reported. Surgeons should be aware of this risk when using the beach chair position.

Radiographic evaluation of the glenohumeral joint space in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the beach-chair position.

Project description:BackgroundShoulder arthroscopy can be performed with the patient in the lateral decubitus or beach-chair position, but in both cases, glenohumeral (GH) joint spaces must be increased to improve visualization and allow access of the optical instrument. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of limb setup and longitudinal traction on the opening of the GH space with patients placed in the beach-chair (dorsal decubitus) position.MethodsGH spaces at 3 test points corresponding to the anatomic locations of Bankart lesions were determined indirectly from radiographic images obtained from 67 patients presenting shoulder pathology with an indication for arthroscopic surgery. Measurements were made with the operative limb in neutral rotation and positioned in relation to the coronal plane in adduction, 45° of abduction, or adduction with an axillary spacer, in each case with and without longitudinal traction.ResultsGH spaces were optimized at 2 of 3 test points when the operative limb was positioned in adduction or neutral rotation and manual longitudinal traction was applied with or without a polystyrene spacer placed under the axilla, but use of the spacer was essential to maximize the GH space at all 3 locations. In contrast, 45° of abduction proved to be the least appropriate position because it afforded the smallest GH space values with or without traction.ConclusionAppropriate positioning of the patient on the operating table is a critical aspect of shoulder arthroscopy. Radiographic images revealed that adducted upper-limb traction with the use of an axillary spacer in patients in the beach-chair position generates a significant increase in the GH space in the lower half of the glenoid cavity, thereby facilitating visualization and access of the optical equipment to the GH compartments.

The Supine Position for Shoulder Arthroscopy.

Project description:Shoulder arthroscopy is traditionally performed with the patient in either the beach chair position or the lateral decubitus position. Each position has its advantages and disadvantages. The main topics for consideration include ease of surgery, view into the surgical field, risks to the patient, and economics of the setup. In the lateral decubitus position, it is inconvenient to work through the anterior portal and it is difficult to convert to an open procedure. In the beach chair position, it is difficult to manage the airway and cerebral oxygenation and the patient's head and the beach chair frame obstruct the insertion of a scope into the superior and posterior portals. This technical note presents the supine position for shoulder arthroscopic surgery. The supine position does not have the disadvantages of the traditional positions. In addition, it is comparatively easy to set up and comfortable for the patient.

Arthroscopically Assisted Latissimus Dorsi Tendon Transfer in Beach-Chair Position.

Project description:Irreparable rotator cuff tears remain a surgical problem. The open technique of latissimus dorsi (LD) tendon transfer to "replace" the irreparable rotator cuff is already well known. The aim of this article is to present a modified arthroscopically assisted LD tendon transfer technique. This technique was adopted to operate on patients in the beach-chair position with several improvements in tendon harvesting and fixation. It can be divided into 6 steps, and only 1 step-LD muscle and tendon release-is performed open. The advantages of the arthroscopic procedure are sparing of the deltoid muscle, the possibility of repairing the subscapularis tendon, and the ability to visualize structures at risk while performing tendon harvesting (radial nerve) and passing into the subacromial space (axillary nerve). It is performed in a similar manner to standard rotator cuff surgery-the beach-chair position does not need any modification, and no sophisticated equipment for either the open or arthroscopic part of the procedure is necessary. Nevertheless, this is a challenging procedure and should only be attempted after training, as well as extensive practice.

Shoulder Arthroscopy in the Lateral Decubitus Position.

Project description:Arthroscopic shoulder surgery can be performed in both the beach chair and lateral decubitus positions. The lateral decubitus position allows for excellent exposure to all aspects of the glenohumeral joint and is therefore frequently employed in procedures such as stabilization, in which extensive visualization of the inferior and posterior aspects of the joint is required. Improved visualization is imparted due to applied lateral and axial traction on the operative arm, which increases the glenohumeral joint space. To perform arthroscopy surgery in the lateral decubitus position successfully, meticulous care during patient positioning and setup must be taken. In this Technical Note, we describe the steps required to safely, efficiently, and reproducibly perform arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the lateral decubitus position.

Prophylactic measures to prevent cerebral oxygen desaturation events in elective beach-chair position shoulder surgeries: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:BackgroundProphylaxis for cerebral desaturation events (CDEs) during anesthesia in the beach chair position (BCP) for shoulder surgeries has not been evaluated. We systematically analyzed the effectiveness of various prophylactic measures used in this clinical setting.MethodsWe performed a meta-analysis (PROSPERO; no. CRD42020167285) of trials reporting CDEs and regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) and jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2) values in anesthetized patients undergoing shoulder surgery in BCP. Considering the type of prophylactic measures used (pharmacological or non-pharmacological), a subgroup analysis was planned. Outcomes included (1) rSO2 and SjvO2 data with and without prophylactic measures for CDEs, recorded for different time intervals, and (2) the number of patients experiencing CDEs and hypotension.ResultsTwelve studies (786 patients) were included in the analysis. We observed lower absolute rSO2 values for early and all-time periods for vasoactive agent prophylaxis. The lowest achieved rSO2 values were also lower for vasoactive agent prophylaxis. Risk of CDEs was higher with vasoactive agent prophylaxis. Subgroup analysis identified targeted mild hypercarbia as effective in preserving cerebral oxygenation. Similarly, targeted mild hypercarbia prevented the fall in rSO2 with position change. Meta-regressions revealed statistically significant highest estimates for vasoactive agent prophylaxis in contrast to targeted mild hypercarbia. Likelihood of not developing CDEs was higher for targeted mild hypercarbia. In contrast to rSO2, most prophylactic methods reduced hypotensive episodes.ConclusionsTargeted mild hypercarbia can reduce BCP-related CDEs. Evidence does not favor prophylactic use of vasoactive agents for the prevention of cerebral desaturations irrespective of whether their use interferes with cerebral oximetry readings.
