Ultrasound-guided intermediate cervical plexus block for carotid endarterectomy using a new anterior approach: a two-centre prospective observational study

Abstract: SummaryThe aim of this prospective, double-centre, observational study performed in 116 patients was to describe a new anterior approach of ultrasound-guided intermediate cervical plexus block for carotid endarterectomy. The median (IQR [range]) volume of ropivacaine 0.5% administered was 30 (25-30 [20-45]) ml. Supplemental local anaesthesia (infiltration and topical) was needed in 66 (57%) patients. Overall, 41 (35%) patients needed additional sedation (18 midazolam; 23 remifentanil). There was no intra-opera… Show more

“…There was no significant difference between two groups in block related complications and the time between the block completion and the first administration of the first dose of intravenous analgesic. In combined block group, maximum visual analog scale score was lower at 3 h (2.2 (1-5) vs 5.3 (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)) and patient satisfaction score was higher than intermediate block group (4.3 (3-5) vs 3.1 (1-4)). One regional anaesthesia procedure was converted to general anaesthesia in combined block group.…”

“…This technique has been previously reported only in a study for the CEA, 6 and in a case report for partial thyroidectomy. 13 The technique of US-ICPB using the posterior approach requires the needle insertion lateral to the transducer to the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.…”
