Stellate Ganglion Block in Control of Arrhythmia in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

The skin should be anaesthetised with lidocaine 2%. Using a lateral approach and in-plane imaging, a blunt regional anaesthesia needle should be advanced deep to the carotid sheath towards the longus colli muscle. Following careful aspiration, inject 10 ml lidocaine 2% that will result in expansion of the fascia of the longus colli. Confirmation of the SGB success can be detected by warming of left upper limb and left Horner's syndrome.
