[Perioperative analgesic efficacy of bilateral superficial cervical plexus block in patients undergoing thyroidectomy: a randomized controlled trial].

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Bilateral superficial cervical plexus block (BSCPB) is a common method used for analgesia in thyroid surgery. We investigated the analgesic efficacy of bilateral superficial cervical plexus block in the intraoperative and postoperative periods.

Materials and methods

Patients (n = 46) undergoing thyroidectomy were randomly separated into the following 2 groups: the general anesthesia group (GA; n = 23) and the general anesthesia plus BSCPB group (GS; n = 23). The intraoperative analgesic requirement (remifentanil) visual analog scale (VAS) score at multiple time points during the postoperative period (after extubation, at 15 and 30 minutes and 1, 2, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post operation) were evaluated. Total tramadol and paracetamol consumption as well as the am
