Summary
This study tests if a special nerve block (phrenic-sparing) can reduce early breathing problems after shoulder surgery in adults with obesity, compared to the standard block. About 68 participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks. Researchers will check breathing, oxygen use, and pain levels in the recovery room and follow up within 24-48 hours.
