Aim: In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacies of
two different doses of a local anesthetic(LA) in
bilateral superficial cervical plexus block (BSCPB) for
pain palliation after thyroid surgery.
Material and Method: A total of 50 patients aged between
25 and 60 years, those who were in the American Society
of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-II class and underwent
Thyroid surgery were included in the study. Patients were
randomized to Group T (intravenous patient-controlled
analgesia morphine (IV PCA) + BSCPB (%0.25 10 ml
bupivacaine); (n=25) and Group F (IV PCA + BSCPB (%0.25 5
ml bupivacaine)) ;(n=25). Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and
the quantity of morphine use were evaluated at the
postoperative 2nd, 4th, 6th, 12th, and 24th hours follow-
up. Secondary outcomes included the Ramsey sedation scale
(RSS), side effect profile, and additional analgesic use.
Results: The VAS scores at 2nd, 4th, 6th, 12th and 24th
hours were found to be no statistically significant
difference between groups (p>0.05). The amounts of PCA
morphine consumption at the postoperative 24th hours were
significantly lower in Group T than in Group F (p <0.05).
No statistically significant difference was found in the
rate of secondary outcomes between the groups (p>0.05).
Discussion: We believe that BSCPB with two different
doses of LA can be used for postoperative thyroid surgery
pain.
