NCT05006612

Brief Summary

We hypothesize that ultrasound guided serratus anterior plane block Combined With Modified Pectoral Nerve Block is going to be more effective than Ultrasound guided Serratus anterior plane block alone in patients undergoing MRM as modified Pecs block involves the block of medial and lateral pectoral nerves which are spared in case of serratus block alone, resulting in reducing myofascial pain and opioid consumption.

Study Arms (2)

Group 1 ((Serratus Anterior Plane Block SAPB)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

N=3o Patients will receive Ultrasound guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block with injection of 30 ml levobupivacaine 0.25%.

Procedure: Serratus Anterior Plane Block

Group 2 ((Serratus Anterior Plane Block SAPB combined with Modified Pectoral Nerve Block)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

N=3o Patients will receive Ultrasound guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block with injection of 20 ml levobupivacaine 0.25%and Modified Pectoral Nerve Block with injection of 10 ml levobupivacaine 0.25%between the two pectoralis muscles, after that, the probe was turned toward the axilla, and as the serratus anterior muscle was recognized above the third and fourth ribs, 10 mL of levobupivacaine 0.25% was injected above this muscle

Procedure: Serratus Anterior Plane Block

Interventions

SAPB Technique; U/S probe will be placed on the patient's midaxillary line in the transverse plane, at the level of the fifth rib, Then, using U/S guidance, A 38-mm 22-gauge regional block needle is advanced in-plane at an angle of approximately 45 degrees towards the fifth rib. After aspiration to avoid IV injection 30ml of levobupivacaine 0.25% is injected anteriorly to the rib and deep to the serratus anterior muscle. SAPB combined with Modified Pectoral Nerve Block : SAPB with injection of 20 ml levobupivacaine 0.25% as discussed before. Modified Pectoral Nerve Block:After identification of the axillary vessels, the U/S probe will turned inferolaterally till the serratus anterior and the two pectoralis muscles are detected in one plane. 10 ml of levobupivacaine 0.25%was injected between the two pectoralis muscles. After that,10 mL of levobupivacaine 0.25%is injected above this muscle.

Masking Details
The patients will be randomly assigned into two equal comparable groups using computer- generated random numbers in opaque closed envelopes, each of which will include 30 patients. Randomization will be done by statistician and each group of the patient will revealed only when the included patient is transferred to preanesthetic room.
Purpose
SUPPORTIVE CARE
Intervention Model
PARALLEL
Model Details: To determine the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided Serratus anterior block combined with modified pectoral nerve block compared to ultrasound guided Serratus Anterior block in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy regarding the following : 1-Post-operative opioid (morphine) consumption in the 1st 24 hours 2- Post-operative Numeric Pain Rating Scale. 3\. Effect on hemodynamics: Mean arterial blood pressure and Heart rate. 4\. Intraoperative fentanyl consumption. 5\. Duration of analgesic effect
