    Abstract

    Introduction: The bilateral superficial cervical plexus block (BSCPB) is effective for postoperative analgesia following thyroid surgeries. We compared the efficacy of dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone used as an adjuvant with 0.25% ropivacaine in BSCPB for thyroidectomy under general anaesthesia with regards to the duration of analgesia, total amount of rescue analgesic requirement, changes in intra and post operative haemodynamic parameters, VAS scores and adverse events, if any.
