Measure
Superficial Cervical Block, Active
After induction of general anesthesia the surgeon will perform a bilateral superficial cervical plexus block using 0.25% Marcaine. Superficial Cervical Plexus Block: 0.25% Marcaine is injected lateral to the sternocleidomastoid bilaterally (10mL on each side) after induction of anesthesia and prior to incision and scheduled thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy. Marcaine
Superficial Cervical Block, Placebo
After induction of general anesthesia the surgeon will perform a bilateral superficial cervical plexus block using 0.9% saline. Superficial Cervical Plexus Block: 0.25% Marcaine is injected lateral to the sternocleidomastoid bilaterally (10mL on each side) after induction of anesthesia and prior to incision and scheduled thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy. 0.9% saline
Local Wound Infiltration, Active
After induction of general anesthesia the surgeon will perform a local wound infiltration using 0.25% Marcaine. Local Wound Infiltration: 0.50% Marcaine is injected at the site of incision (10mL) after induction of anesthesia and prior to incision and scheduled thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy. Marcaine
Local Wound Infiltration, Placebo
After induction of general anesthesia the surgeon will perform local wound infiltration using 0.9% Saline. Local Wound Infiltration: 0.50% Marcaine is injected at the site of incision (10mL) after induction of anesthesia and prior to incision and scheduled thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy. 0.9% saline
