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

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.
