Ultrasound-guided intermediate cervical plexus block and perivascular local anesthetic infiltration for carotid endarterectomy : A randomized controlled trial.

CONCLUSION: For ultrasound-guided intermediate blocks of the cervical plexus, an additional periarterial infiltration showed no advantage. Abandoning this technique leads to a relevant simplification of the blocking technique and tends to reduce block-related side effects. PMID: 27742968 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
