Primary outcomePrimary: Intraoperative Fentanyl Administration — 187.5; 185.7; 144.2; 156.3 mcg
Summary
We aim to study the effect of local anesthetic when used in conjunction with general anesthesia during thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy. We hypothesize there is equivalent pain control between bilateral superficial cervical plexus block and local wound infiltration when used in conjunction with a general anesthetic.
