Summary

Pain management in patients undergoing neurosurgery is a very important issue. The effectiveness of USG-guided scalp blocks for pain management in craniotomy surgery is currently not known. The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided scalp block when performed in patients who undergo supratentorial craniotomies.

Conditions

  • Pain, Postoperative
  • Anesthesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound-guided scalp block with ropivacaine 0.375%

Scalp block will be performed under USG guidance, using the technique described by Tsan et al. The block needle used will be an echogenic block needle, with a length of 50 mm, and a diameter of 22 G. Trained personnel comprising of the investigators in this study will perform the scalp block. Using ultrasound to identify landmarks, ropivacaine 0.375% will be administered in volumes of 1.5 ml to 3 ml. The nerves targeted will be the supraorbital, supratrochlear, zygomaticotemporal, auriculotemporal, greater auricular, lesser occipital, greater occipital and third occipital nerves.
