Brief 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.
Detailed Description: Surgery of the thyroid gland is increasingly popular performed as ambulatory procedures in many countries. Postoperative wound pain is a common complication, especially within 24 hr after thyroid surgery, which may delay discharge or even unplanned readmissions following day surgery. Several strategies, including local and regional anesthesia, are now performed as core components of multimodal analgesia for postoperative pain. Adequate postoperative pain relief is imperative to improve functional outcome, accelerate early ambulation and discharge from the hospital. Ultrasound-guided superficial cervical plexus block was introduced by Tran et al . The main advantages of Ultrasound-guided superficial cervical plexus block include: provide real-time visualization of anatomical structures, reduced volumes of local anesthetics, and avoid inadvertent damage or accidental puncture of vessels. Owing to its feasibility and efficacy, ultrasound-guided Bilateral superficial cervical plexus block is a technique for providing adequate regional analgesia during thyroidectomy with improvement of patient recovery. Quality of recovery after anesthesia is an important measure of the early postoperative health status of patients. Based on extensive clinical and research experience with the 40-item Quality of Recovery-40, the strongest psychometrically performing items from each of the five dimensions of the Quality of Recovery-40 were selected to create a short-form version. The Quality of Recovery-15 provides a valid, extensive, and yet efficient evaluation of postoperative Quality of Recovery.
