The Effect of Superficial Cervical Plexus Block on Postoperative Recovery Quality and Pain in Anterior Cervical Spinal Surgery

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The study was designed as a double-blind, prospective randomized controlled trial.

Blindness; The healthcare professionals who will monitor the patient's pain in the post-operative period will not know whether the superficial cervical plexus block is applied to the patients. Randomization of the patients was planned using computer aided. It is envisaged that 20 participants will be included in the patient group that will have a superficial cervical plexus block and will not have a superficial cervical plexus block. The current pain status in the postoperative period in the patient groups that will or will not have a superficial cervical plexus block is determined by NRS (Numerical rating scale) at rest and in motion at certain hour intervals ( 30.min,1.,6.,12.,24. hours) will be done, when the patients' NRS scores are 4 and above, an additional intravenous analgesic will be administered, and the number of bolus doses with PCA in the first 24 hours will be recorded. The quality of recovery (QoR-40) scoring system will be evaluated at the postoperative 24th hour of both patients with and without superficial cervical plexus block. In addition, the hemodynamic values of the patients will be recorded in these intervals.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Superficial cervical block
Superficial Cervical Block
After anesthesia and surgical procedures, bilateral superficial cervical plexus block will be applied to the lower border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, accompanied by ultrasonography. After cleaning the area with povidone iodine before the block, the sternocleidomastoid muscle and carotid artery and other vascular structures are determined using a linear ultrasound probe. Local anesthetic will be administered between the lower border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the upper border of the prevertebral fascia with the help of an insulated needle designed for peripheral block procedures. The location of the needle will be confirmed by hydrodissection method with saline before local anesthesia is given. After the location of the needle is confirmed, 2 ml of saline will be injected, followed by 10 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine. The deep cervical fascia of the superficial lamina will appear to open.
Active Comparator: without superficial cervical block
Without superficial cervical block
patients who underwent anterior cervical surgery and did not undergo superficial cervical block

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Qor-40 test (The recovery quality test)
Time Frame: 24 th hour
For this purpose, patients will be subjected to the Short Form-40- test , which is a short scale of postoperative recovery quality at first 24th hour. Minimum score is 40=bad, maximum score is 200=good
24 th hour

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
NRS (Numerical rating scale)
Time Frame: 30 minutes,1st hour,6th hour,12th hour and 24th hour]
It is pain intensity determination system based on the system where the person tells a point between 0=(no pain), 10= (unbearable pain) and to describe their pain.
30 minutes,1st hour,6th hour,12th hour and 24th hour]
Postoperative pain
Time Frame: 30 minutes, 1st hour, 6th hour, 12th hourand 24th hour
Postoperative opioid consumotions on the pca (patient controlled analgesia) device of the patients will be recorded in Postoperative 30. min, 1., 6., 12., 24. Opioid consumptions on the pca device of the patients will be recorded in 30. min, 1., 6., 12., 24. hours.
30 minutes, 1st hour, 6th hour, 12th hourand 24th hour
