Summary

Evaluating ultrasound guided Bilateral Superficial Cervical Plexus Block as a part of enhanced recovery after thyroid surgery using Quality of Recovery-15 scale as a method for assessment of quality of recovery.

Conditions

  • Bilateral Ultrasound Guided Superficial Cervical Plexus Block
  • Thyroid Surgery
  • Enhanced Recovery

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound-guided Bilateral superficial cervical plexus block

This nerve block is typically performed in the supine or semi-sitting position, with the head turned slightly away from the side to be blocked to facilitate operator access. Under strict aseptic condition, the linear ultrasound transducer should be placed on the lateral neck, overlying the sternocleidomastoid muscle at the level of its midpoint (approximately the level of the cricoid cartilage). Once the sternocleidomastoid muscle has been identified, the transducer is moved posteriorly until the tapering posterior edge is positioned in the middle of the screen. Once the plexus has been identified and using In-Plane approach, the needle is passed from medial to lateral through the skin, platysma and investing layer of deep cervical fascia and the tip is placed adjacent to the plexus. Following negative aspiration, 1 mL of local anesthetic is injected to confirm the proper injection site. The remainder of the local anesthetic (5ml) is administered to envelop the plexus.

DRUG

Midazolam

All patients will be premedicated with Midazolam (0.02mg/Kg).
