BACKGROUND AND AIMThe SCPB provides effective anesthesia and analgesia for the head and neck region. CPBs can be performed more safely and accurately under ultrasound guidance, which is used to easily identify various important landmarks.This case report was carried out to assess the efficacy of SCPB in reducing the intra and postoperative use of opioids/analgesics to control pain due to thyroidectomy.

BACKGROUND AND AIMThe use of loco-regional anesthesia aims at providing an adequate intra-and/or post-operative pain management for a broad spectrum of surgical interventions which historically have relayed on the use of opiod drugs. On this fashion, the aim of our study is to prove that the use of bilateral continuous subcostal TAP block, in a multimodal opiod-sparing analgesic approach, provides a successful post-operative pain management for major abdominal surgical interventions. We adopted the NRS score as a reference and ≤ 6 as an acceptable response.
