Brief Summary

postoperative pain following Modified radical mastectomy is severe specially after dissection of tissues .paravertebral plane block provides an excellent postoperative analgesia for women's,but it carry the risk of pneumothorax which it reported in some cases.Erector spinae plane block is a recent block has been mentioned in many case reports as a safe,quick and can be used in outpatient setting. we use a comparative study to compare the postoperative analgesia between both blocks and the affection of postoperative pain following both blocks if any on pulmonary functions.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pulmonary Function Tests(PFT)

    Pulmonary function test (PFTs) will be performed for all of them in the day before operation .pulmonary function tests will assess via a portable spirometer (Enraf-Nonius, Model SPIRO 601 Medical Technologies) with the patient in the sitting or semi-recumbent position. PFTs will obtain with the elimination of outliers from data analysis

    preoperative and 24 hours postoperative

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Opioid consumption

    24 hours postoperatively

  • Hospital stay

    72 hours

  • Dermatomal distribution

    30 minutes after block will be assessed every 5 minutes

  • Incidence of Side effects and complication during study

    24 hours

  • Time to first analgesic requirement

    24 hours postoperative

Study Arms (2)

Paravertebral plane block group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The TPVB will be administered at the T4 level with the patient in the sitting position.The ultrasound probe will be placed 5 cm from the midline in the craniocaudal direction and moved medially to identify the transverse process and parietal pleura. The superior costotransverse ligament was identified as a collection of homogeneous linear echogenic bands alternating with echo-poor areas running from one transverse process to the next. Bubivacaine0.5%, 20 ml will be deposited in the space between the pleura and the costotransverse ligament.

Procedure: Paravertebral plane block

Erector spinae plane block group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

the transducer will be placed in a transverse orientation at T5 to T6 to identify the spinous process, lamina, and transverse process .The tip of the transverse process will be centered on the ultrasound screen, and the transducer will be rotated 90 degrees into a longitudinal orientation to obtain a parasagittal view. Depending on the level imaged, 2 or 3 hypoechoic muscle layers were identified overlying the tip of the transverse processes. From T1 to T5 the erector spinae, rhomboid major and trapezius muscles are visible posterior and superficial to the transverse processes. An 8cm 22-gauge block needle will be Inserted in-plane to the ultrasound beam in a cephalad-to-caudal Direction to place the needle tip between the posterior fascia of Erector spinae and the tip of the targeted transverse process. Following which a total of 20 mL of 0.5%bupivacaine will be injected.

Procedure: Erector spinae plane block
