Brief Title: Regional Anesthesia and Partial Mastectomy
Official Title: Interpectoral and Pectoserratus Plane Block vs Local Anesthetic Infiltration for Partial Mastectomy - a Prospective Randomized Trial
Study ID: NCT04824599
Brief Summary: Pectoralis nerves plane block (PECS) first described by Blanco in 2011 has become part of postoperative pain management in breast surgery, thoracic surgery and thoracic trauma. The combination of low complication risk and easiness in mastering of PECS block has made it an interesting alternative to thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEDA) and paravertebral blockade (PVB) for pain treatment after breast surgery. Several studies showed good results when PECS was compared to PVB. PECS blockade however is a procedure requiring some resources in the operating room. An alternative approach is to inject local anesthetics (LA) in the operation field by the surgeon. The hypothesis' tested in this study is primarily: that PECS blockade is superior to LA being injected by surgeon in the operating field measured by end points such as: post-operative pain, post-operative analgesics use, post-operative nausea or vomiting (PONV) and length of stay in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU).
