Continuous bilateral subomohyoid suprascapular nerve blocks for postoperative analgesia for bilateral rotator cuff repair: a case report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Blocking the suprascapular nerve under the inferior belly of the omohyoid muscle is a novel regional anesthesia technique that has been proposed for shoulder analgesia. We describe the use of and our experience with bilateral indwelling suprascapular catheters for pain management via continuous infusions in a patient undergoing bilateral shoulder surgery. Bilateral subomohyoid suprascapular catheters were inserted prior to surgery for postoperative analgesia in a patient undergoing bilateral rotator cuff tear repair. The catheters were placed 0.5–1 cm beyond the needle tip, and low local anesthetic infusion rates (ropivacaine 0.2% at 5 mL·hr −1 on each side) were used. Judicious use of preoperatively placed bilateral suprascapular catheters added to a comprehensive multimodal analgesic regimen provided excellent analgesia without respiratory compromise throughout the perioperative course.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
