NCT07592832

Brief Summary

The main aim of this study is to compare the effects of two different anesthesia methods-(1) general anesthesia alone and (2) combination of general anesthesia with cervical plexus block-on postoperative inflammatory process and amino acid metabolism in patients undergoing thyroidectomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Perioperative Inflammatory Response

    IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-40 levels will be measured 1 hour before surgery, and then 2 and 6 hours after surgery, and these values will then be compared.

    Before the procedure, and at 2 and 6 hours after the procedure.

  • Inflammatory Response

    IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-40 levels will be measured 1 hour before surgery, and then 2 and 6 hours after surgery, and these values will then be compared.

Study Arms (2)

GENERAL ANESTHESIA

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

THIS GROUP WILL INCLUDE PATIENTS WHO ARE UNDER GENERAL ANESTHESIA.

Procedure: cervical plexus block

cervical plexus block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

IN THIS GROUP, CERVICAL PLEXUS BLOCK WILL BE PERFORMED IN ADDITION TO GENERAL ANESTHESIA.

Procedure: General Anesthesia

Interventions

In our study, one patient group will receive only general anesthesia, while the other group will receive general anesthesia in addition to ultrasound-guided cervical plexus block. The inflammatory response is a natural response of the body's immune system to surgical trauma, and it can vary depending on the anesthetic agent used. In regulating this response, molecules such as IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-40 are important indicators that determine the severity and duration of inflammation. These parameters will be examined and compared in both groups.

cervical plexus block

In our study, one patient group will receive only general anesthesia, while the other group will receive general anesthesia in addition to ultrasound-guided cervical plexus block.
