A Prospective Comparison of Procedural Sedation and Ultrasound‐guided Interscalene Nerve Block for Shoulder Reduction in the Emergency Department

Abstract

In this study, patients undergoing shoulder dislocation reduction using US-guided interscalene block spent less time in the ED and required less one-on-one health care provider time compared to those receiving procedural sedation. There was no difference in pain level or satisfaction when compared to procedural sedation patients.
