Running, not enrolling
Conditions studied: Post Operative Pain, Quality of Recovery After Mastectomy
In brief
This is a prospective observational study. Investigators want to understand post-operative recovery for patients undergoing mastectomy at NorthShore University HealthSystem. Some of these patients receive PECS blocks with Liposomal Bupivacaine and some do not receive a block. Investigators want to know whether patients who receive a block have better post operative recovery and pain control than patients who do not receive one. Investigators also want to understand whether PECS blocks with Liposomal Bupivacaine improves quality of recovery at 72 hours post operatively.
