What this trial studies
This study investigates the effectiveness of an Intermediate Cervical Plexus Block combined with general anesthesia using two different concentrations of bupivacaine in patients undergoing neck surgeries, specifically total thyroidectomy or total laryngectomy. Conducted at Cairo University hospitals, participants are randomly assigned to receive either a higher or lower concentration of bupivacaine. The study follows strict ethical guidelines and employs ultrasound to assess diaphragmatic motion as part of the evaluation process.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients aged 40 years and older with ASA physical status I-III scheduled for total thyroidectomy or total laryngectomy.
Not a fit: Patients with heart failure, arrhythmias, or impaired organ functions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management techniques for patients undergoing neck surgeries.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar approaches to pain management in surgical settings.
