Summary

Acute postoperative pain is a common problem faced by the patient after surgery, most frequently occurring in first 24 hours. Our primary objective was to assess pain score in first 24 hours in PECS block group undergoing mastectomies. Secondary objective was to observe morphine (opioids) and antiemetic consumption in post anesthetic care unit.

Conditions

  • Regional Anesthesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

PECS block

After the induction of general anesthesia, PECS block was administered patients via ultrasound guided technique. We used Mindray M7 Portable ultrasound system using linear probe with (5-10 MHz) frequency. After cleaning the infra clavicular and axillary region with 2% chlorhexidine in 70% Alcohol solution, ultrasound probe was placed in the infraclavicular region and pectoral major and minor were identified. After identification of the landmarks, 20 gauge 50mm Visoplex needle was inserted in-plane direction. 20ml of 0.25% bupivacaine (within the safe limit of its dose) was infiltrated between pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscle and the spread was visualized on the ultrasound screen.
