[Block of the cervical plexus in surgery of the carotid artery. Our experience with 142 cases].

The main anesthesiological problem in TEAC operations is the possibility of evaluating the degree of tolerance after carotid artery clamping. When facing this situation, some anesthesiologists prefer to administer general anesthesia, others prefer loco-regional anesthesia. On the basis of their background and experience, the Authors, from 1.1.1987 to 12.31.1988, have performed 142 nerve blocks of the superficial and the cervical plexus. The proposed technique is simple. No side effects are observed. Moreover it is gratifying for the surgeon and safe from risks for patients. Loco-regional anesthesia permits a close neurologic monitoring that is easily understandable and inexpensive. When performing this kind of surgery, this technique seems to be valid and effective.
