IntroductionScalp nerve block has been proven to be an alternative choice to opioids in multimodal analgesia. However, for the infratentorial space-occupying craniotomy, especially the suboccipital retrosigmoid craniotomy, scalp nerve block is insufficient.Methods and analysisThe study is a prospective, single-centre, randomised, paralleled-group controlled trial. Patients scheduled to receive elective suboccipital retrosigmoid craniotomy will be randomly assigned to the superficial cervical plexus block group or the control group. After anaesthesia induction, superficial cervical plexus nerve block will be performed under the guidance of ultrasound. The primary outcome is the cumulative consumption of sufentanil by the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pump within 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes include the cumulative consumption of sufentanil at other four time points and numerical rating scale pain severity score.Ethics and disseminationThe protocol (version number: 2.0, 10 April 2019) has been approved by the Ethics Review Committee of China Registered Clinical Trials (Ethics Review No. ChiECRCT-20190047). The findings of this study will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and at scientific conferences.Trial registration numberNCT04036812

Background: When general anaesthesia is employed for a surgery, the hemodynamic changes are intense during intubation, intraoperative stress and extubation. Hence, in the present study, by employing Bilateral Superficial Cervical Plexus Block using 0.5% Bupivacaine prior to skin incision, assessment of hemodynamic effects during intraoperative period is done. The aim of the study was to compare the intra operative hemodynamic status and the safety of bilateral superficial cervical plexus block with general anesthesia in thyroid surgerie.Methods: Bilateral superficial cervical plexus block was performed in patients undergoing simple thyroid surgery using normal saline in 29 control group patients and 0.5% Bupivacaine in 29 study group patients. Intraoperative hemodynamic status was monitored in both the groups using parameters such as heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean blood pressure.Results: Hemodynamic parameters are not altered during the intraoperative period in the study and control group.Conclusions: Bilateral Superficial Cervical Plexus Block with bupivacaine did not alter the intraoperative hemodynamic parameters.
