Ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block reduces incident sore throat and sleep disturbance after lumbar spine surgery suggests a new study published in the BMC Anesthesiology.
Postoperative sore throat and sleep disturbance are prevalent among patients undergoing spinal surgery, and these conditions can substantially impact their postoperative satisfaction and quality of life. The present study aimed to examine the impact of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block (SGB) on the occurrence of postoperative sore throat (POST) and postoperative sleep disturbance (PSD) in patients who undergo lumbar spine surgery under general anesthesia.
