TL;DR
BSCPB with ropivacaine or roPivaciane and clonidine was effective in reducing analgesic requirements after thyroid surgery, and improved intraoperative analgesia.
Abstract
BSCPB with ropivacaine and clonidine improved intraoperative analgesia. BSCPB with ropivacaine or ropivaciane and clonidine was effective in reducing analgesic requirements after thyroid surgery.

AnesthesiologyA Simplified Risk Score for Predicting Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting
2,103 Citations1999Christian C. Apfel, Esa Läärä +3 more
This risk score has broad applicability in predicting PONV in adult patients undergoing inhalational anesthesia for various types of surgery and should be considered for patients with at least two out of these four identified predictors.
Journal of NeurophysiologyNeurogenic hyperalgesia: psychophysical studies of underlying mechanisms
942 Citations1991Robert H. LaMotte, C. N. Shain +2 more
It was postulated that there exist special chemosensitive primary afferent nerve fibers that are more effective in producing mechanical hyperalgesia than are the known thermo- and mechanosensitive nociceptive nerve fibers.
AnesthesiologyDifferences in Cardiotoxicity of Bupivacaine and Ropivacaine Are the Result of Physicochemical and Stereoselective Properties
193 Citations2002Bernhard Gräf, Ingo Abraham +4 more
The results confirm that stereoselectivity can be demonstrated by a lengthening of atrioventricular conduction time for the more fat-soluble bupivacaine, however, for the less fat- soluble ropivACaine, the S (−)-isomer has no advantage over the R (+)-isomers for preventing slowing of atRIoventricULAR conduction in clinical concentrations.
DrugsNefopam
188 Citations1980R.C. Heel, Rex N. Brogden +3 more
Nefopam is a non-narcotic analgesic not structurally related to other analgesic drugs, and when appropriate dose ratios were compared in short term studies it was shown to produce analgesia comparable to that with the oral analgesics aspirin, dextropropoxyphene and pentazocine, as well as that with ‘moderate’ doses of parenteral morphine, pethidine and pentacine.
Journal of Clinical AnesthesiaNausea and vomiting following thyroid and parathyroid surgery
155 Citations1997James M. Sonner, James M. Hynson +2 more
Propofol for maintenance of anesthesia, although more expensive than isoflurane, reduces the rate of postoperative nausea and vomiting in women, and patients undergoing thyroid or parathyroid surgery are at high risk for the development of PONV.
Anesthesia & AnalgesiaPrevention of Postoperative Pain After Thyroid Surgery: A Double-Blind Randomized Study of Bilateral Superficial Cervical Plexus Blocks
137 Citations2001Nathalie Dieudonné-Rahm, Alexandra Gomola +2 more
It is concluded that bilateral superficial cervical plexus blocks significantly reduce pain intensity in the postoperative period after thyroid surgery but do not provide optimal pain relief alone.
AnesthesiologyClonidine Prolongation of Lidocaine Analgesia after Sciatic Nerve Block in Rats Is Mediated via the Hyperpolarization-activated Cation Current, Not by α-Adrenoreceptors
121 Citations2004Jeffrey S. Kroin, Asokumar Buvanendran +4 more
The findings indicate that prolongation of duration of in vivo lidocaine nerve blockade by clonidine is not mediated by an &agr;-adrenergic mechanism but likely involves the Ih current.

It is demonstrated that, when providing combined sciatic-femoral nerve block for hallux valgus repair, the addition of 1 microg/kg clonidine to 0.75% ropivacaine prolongs the duration of postoperative analgesia by 3 h, with only a slight and short-lived increase in the degree of sedation and no hemodynamic adverse effects.

This study demonstrated a simple, efficient and safe way to reduce pain perception following a thyroidectomy using bupivacaine 0.5% wound infiltration for postoperative pain management following thyroid surgery.

It is suggested that a prolonged, preemptive nerve block reduced late hyperalgesia after thermal injury, whereas the erythema and blister formation were not significantly affected.

It is concluded that bilateral superficial cervical plexus block or local anesthetic wound infiltration with 0.25% bupivacaine did not decrease analgesic requirement after thyroid surgery.

The admixture of clonidine to bupivacaine plus epinephrine prolongs and enhances brachial plexus blockade and lower clonazine plasma concentrations for block treatment strongly suggest a local effect.

67 Citations2006Alexandre Herbland, Olivier Cantini +5 more
A prospective double-blinded, randomized controlled trial that compared 3 parallel groups found that bilateral superficial cervical plexus block with 0.75% ropivacaine administered before or after surgery does not improve postoperative analgesia after total thyroidectomy.

43 Citations1999Hartmut Buerkle, M. SCHÄPSMEIER +4 more
It is suggested that clonidine produces potent thermal and mechanical antinociception regardless of the route of administration, and chronic inflammatory processing appears to enhance the ant inociceptive efficacy of the peripheral alpha 2 agonist.

It is concluded that interscalene brachial plexus block performed with 20 mL of either 0.75% or 1% ropivacaine allows for a prolonged post-operative pain relief, similar to that provided by bupavacaine 0.5%, with short onset time of surgical anaesthesia.
