Effects of Scalp Nerve Block on Postoperative Pain, Hemodynamics and Surgical Stress Response in Craniotomy Surgery
Sponsor: Umraniye Education and Research Hospital
Summary
The hypothesis of this study is that preincisional scalp nerve block will reduce postoperative opioid use and surgical stress response compared to postincisional scalp nerve block in craniotomy surgery with general anesthesia.

Interventions
scalp nerve block
scalp nerve block is performed bilaterally by an anesthesiologist after induction of anesthesia and 5 minutes before head immobilization, according to the technique described by Pinosky et al. Prepare a syringe (20 mL) for scalp blocks. It is performed using 0.35% bupivacaine and 5 mcg epinephrine (1:2,000,000) using a 23-gauge needle inserted at a 45° angle to the skin and penetrating deeply into the outer edge of the scalp.
