Cervical plexus block is a safe and effective anesthesia for carotid surgery, offering reliable clamp intolerance detection and low complication rates. This technique ensures hemodynamic stability, reducing cardiac risks and enabling timely endarterectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Anesthesiology
  • Vascular Surgery

Context:

  • Controversy exists regarding anesthesia choices for carotid surgery.
  • Carotid endarterectomy is a common procedure to prevent stroke.
  • Loco-regional anesthesia offers potential benefits over general anesthesia.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the early outcomes of carotid surgery using cervical plexus blockade.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of loco-regional anesthesia in this context.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study of 405 carotid surgeries using cervical plexus block (CPB) was conducted.
  • The technique involved deep and superficial blockade with Bupivacaine.
  • Complications included 2.5% block failure and 8.6% neurological events during clamping, with 8 persistent central neurological complications (1.9%).

Impact:

  • Cervical plexus block is a simple, effective, and low-cost anesthesia for carotid bifurcation surgery.
  • It allows reliable detection of clamp intolerance, facilitating endarterectomy.
  • The technique promotes hemodynamic stability, minimizing cardiac complications and aiding the understanding of neurological events.
