Response - NO
Brief Summary   This is a prospective randomised control trial to study the effect of dexamethasone as an adjuvant with bupivacaine 0.25% versus Bupivacaine 0.25% alone using ultrasound guided superficial cervical plexus block  in patients undergoing thyroid surgeries under entropy guided general Anesthesia of duration less than 2 hours 30mins. It will be conducted in a total of 80patients, 40 in each group in all hospitals attached to Bangalore medical college and research institute. The primary outcome is to compare hemodynamic variables intraoperatively. Isoflurane consumptions, entropy intraoperatively and postop analgesia and side effects will be observed in the post operative period
