Effects of Unilateral Intermediate Cervical Plexus Block on the Diaphragmatic Function in Patients Undergoing Unilateral Thyroidectomy: A Randomized Controlled Study.

This prospective study aimed to examine whether unilateral ICPB with different concentrations of ropivacaine resulted in the diaphragmatic dysfunction in unilateral thyroidectomy.
