NCT04372862

Brief Summary

In this study, we are comparing two different techniques of plane blocks to control postoperative mastectomy pain serratus anterior plane block and erector spinae plane block, both are done with ultrasonic guidance We are recording the first time of analgesia request postoperatively as a primary outcome

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • First time analgesia request

    The first time the patient ask for analgesia to control postoperative pain

    Postoperative up to 24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Total analgesic consumption

    Postoperative up to 24 hours

  • visual analogue scale

    Every two hours for 24 hours postoperative

Study Arms (2)

Serratus anterior plane block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Serratus anterior plane block was performed in the supine position placing the ipsilateral upper limb in abduction 90 degrees position. Aiming to find the serratus anterior muscle the investigator identified the fifth rib in the mid-axillary line by the linear probe in the sagittal plane. The latissimus dorsi muscle (superficial and posterior), teres major muscle (superior) and serratus muscles (deep and inferior) were detected using ultrasound. The investigator penetrated the serratus anterior muscle by a 25 GA, 90 mm spinal needle in-plane concerning the ultrasound probe from superoanterior to posteroinferior to inject deep to it.

Procedure: Plane block

Erector spinae plane block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Erector spinae plane block was performed at lateral decubitus with the operation site up, the vertebrae were counted from cephalad to caudal direction until reaching T5 spinous process as the first palpable spinous process is C7. The ultrasound probe was placed vertically 3 cm lateral to the T5 spinous process. Three muscles were identified superficial to the hyperechoic transverse process shadow as follows: trapezius, rhomboid major, and erector spinae. The needle was introduced from superior to inferior direction in-plane until the tip lay deep to erector spinae muscle.

Procedure: Plane block
