Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of cranial regional block and infiltration at the pin site on heart rate and blood pressure during cranial pinning in patients undergoing posterior neck fusion surgery
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, three-blind, randomized, on 102 patients. The randomization site is used for randomization. https://www.sealedenvelope.com/simple-randomiser/v1/lists
Settings and conduct
This study is a randomized clinical trial. The target population is candidates for elective posterior cervical fusion surgery who referred to Al-Zahra Hospital in 1402. We have three groups, in which in addition to general anesthesia, in one group, bupivacaine and dexamethasone are administered as local injections in the pin-site area, and in the other group, scalp block with the same drugs is performed in 4 areas, and the third group is only under general anesthesia. Patients and people involved in data collection and analysis are not aware of the type of intervention.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Candidate patients for posterior cervical fusion surgery; Age 18 to 65 years; Completing the informed consent form; American Society of Anesthesiologists I, II Exclusion criteria: Previous incision and previous history of neck surgery; Allergy to local anesthetic; Drug or alcohol addiction
Intervention groups
In the first group or group R, a mixture of bupivacaine and dexamethasone is injected bilaterally in 4 areas equally. In the second group or group P, the same amount of bupivacaine and dexamethasone are injected bilaterally at the pinning site. The third group is only under general anesthesia.
Main outcome variables
Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, Saturation of Peripheral Oxygen, mean blood pressure

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Sampling in this research is done in two stages. In the first stage, samples will be entered continuously based on the criteria for entering the study. In the second stage, the samples are assigned to groups in the form of a random permutation block design of three groups with blocks of three. In this way, the letter A is for the regional Regional Scalp Block, group B is for the Pin-Site Infiltration, and the letter C is for the regional scalp block group. The control group is considered. Then, all substitution compounds will be extracted from the site below until the sample size reaches the quorum. https://www.sealedenvelope.com/simple-randomiser/v1/lists To avoid bias, this work will be done by someone other than the researcher.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
In this study, patients and people involved in data collection and analysis are not aware of the grouping. After obtaining informed consent from eligible patients, they are randomly placed in 3 groups R, P and control, and the patients do not know which group they are in. After general anesthesia, a skilled doctor injects the drug. In the first group, injection is done in 4 areas, in the second group, in two areas. In the third group, no injection is performed. The person collecting the data does not know which group the patient belongs to. The person responsible for analyzing the data does not know which group this data belongs to.

Description
Second intervention group: Pin-Site Infiltration (PSI) In this group, a mixture of 0.5% bupivacaine 0.5% and 2cc dexamethasone (equivalent to 8mg) is injected bilaterally at the pinning site with a 25 gauge needle.
Category
