The Feasibility of Bilateral Intermediate Cervical Plexus Block for Thyroidectomy/Parathyroidectomy Under Moderate Sedation; Retrospective Study

The aim of this study was evaluated the feasibility of bilateral intermediate cervical plexus blockade to be anesthesia for simple thyroid/parathyroid surgery.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Bilateral intermediate cervical plexus blocks have been reported for thyroid/parathyroid surgery. This technique combined with intravenous sedation has used with safety in patients undergoing simple thyroid or parathyroid surgery. Simple surgery is defined as the thyroid conditions are not cancer, redo or substernal goiter.
