Outcome Measures

Outcome	Result	p-value
PRIMARY Number of Patients With Required Supplementation of Local Anesthetic by Surgeon	13; 13	1.0
PRIMARY Amount (ml) of Local Anesthetic Supplemented by Surgeon	4.9; 3.7	0.459

Summary

For ultrasound guided intermediate cervical plexus block this randomized comparison is testing the hypothesis, that an additional perivascular infiltration is associated with increased block quality.
