Serratus Anterior Muscle Plane Block vsThoracic Paravertebral Block For Unilateral Mastectomies

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Mastectomy, Regional Anesthesia, Post Operative Pain

In brief

HYPOTHESIS Serratus Anterior Muscle Plane Block (SPB) is as effective as thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) for acute pain control after unilateral mastectomies. SPECIFIC AIMS Primary aim: To evaluate the efficacy of SPB block vs thoracic PVB for acute pain control in patients undergoing unilateral mastectomy Secondary aim To compare the onset and duration of block and dermatomes blocked in both groups To compare the need of post-operative rescue analgesia in both groups. To compare the development of chronic incisional pain in both groups Functional outcome with respect to daily activities.
