NCT01499836

Brief Summary

Previous studies have shown that paravertebral block (PVB) has the potential to reduce pain and side effects after breast surgery when used in addition to general anesthesia or sedation.The investigators would like to further discern the impact of GA or PVB on the postoperative QoR, pain and satisfaction.

Study Arms (3)

general anesthesia and PVB

EXPERIMENTAL

general anesthetics consisting of propofol, cisatracurium and fentanyl for endotracheal intubation and deaflurane for maintenance will be given. After intubation, paravertebral injections will be performed under ultrasound guidance.

Other: PVB

sedation and PVB

EXPERIMENTAL

After sedation with midazolam and fentanyl, the patients in sedation and PVB group will receive PVB. paravertebral injections will be performed under ultrasound guidance.Intraoperative sedation will be provided with propofol titrated to moderate sedation.

Other: PVB

general anesthesia

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
