Brief Summary

Chronic postoperative pain is an entity that is usually neglected by anesthetists, but several studies show that the choice of anesthetic technique may interfere with this prevalence. Esmolol is a selective beta-blocker of ultra fast duration that has been studied as a perioperative venous adjuvant with antihyperalgesic and opioid sparing action. The investigators ventured the possibility of this anti-hyperalgesic effect attenuating the chronic pain syndrome post-mastectomy.
