Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Historically, Thyroid and parathyroid surgery was done initially under local anesthesia. Aims and Objectives: To study General anesthesia versus cervical block for the surgery of thyroid at tertiary health care center. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study carried out at tertiary health care centre during the one year period i.e. January 2017 to January 2018. In the one year period there were 64 patients who need thyroid surgery with written and explained consent were enrolled for the study out of these 32 were given General anesthesia (Group G) and 32 were given Local anesthesia (Group L). The statistical comparison was done unpaired t-test, and calculated by SPSS 19 version software. Result: The average age in Group G was 38 ± 2.93 Yrs. and Group L was 37± 3.42 Yrs. was comparable with each other. The ratio of Male to Female was 1.9:1 and 2.2 : 1 was also comparable (p>0.05,X2= 0.070,df=1) The duration of Surgery (min) was significantly higher in Group G as compared to Group L - 132 ± 3.45 and 101 ± 2.45 (p<0.05,t=7.82,df=62); Post operative pain (VAS) was significantly higher i.e. 5.62 ± 3.52 and 3.45 ± 2.31 (p<0.001,t=8.12,df=62); Onset of postoperative pain (min) was significantly higher i.e. 241 ± 3.42 and 61 ± 4.12 (p<0.01,t=9.23,df=62) respectively in Group L as compared to Group G. Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that except the duration of Surgery more in General anesthesia and Post operative pain , Onset of postoperative pain was more Local anesthesia other parameters were parameters were comparable in both the group.
