Abstract
Objective: To investigate the literature on how ropivacaine block in the interscalene brachial plexus works and what is the best form of administration to treat postoperative shoulder pain in adults. Methodology: A complete review of the literature. The research began based on the patient's pain and the best treatment strategy; the electronic survey was carried out using the LILACS and Pubmed electronic databases. Results: Patients who received ropivacaine for analgesia reported satisfactory improvement in the postoperative period. Final considerations: To control postoperative pain, interscalene brachial plexus block with ropivacaine is considered effective regardless of gender, age or anthropometric values. The authors agree that the use of the substance reduces the use of opioids. The addition of perineural dexamethasone to ropivacaine appears to make the blockade even more effective, increasing pain (prolongation of the blockade) and reducing the frequency of nausea and vomiting. It appears that the combination of tramadol and ropivacaine increases the effectiveness of sensory blockade, decreasing the onset time and duration of the blockade.
