Summary

Study the benefits of a Erector Spinae nerve block for pain control and decrease narcotics usage after mammoplasty in an ambulatory setting

Conditions

  • Anesthesia
  • Block

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Erecto Spinae nerve block

The ESPB is a myofascial block alternative to the paravertebral block. It is performed by injecting local anesthetic in the plane between the erector spinae muscle and the spinal transverse process. The ESPB is thought to be safer than the paravertebral block because the transverse process acts as a barrier to the pleura. It has been postulated that local anesthetic spread reaches the paravertebral space and in fact, cadaveric studies have shown dye spreading to involve the ventral and dorsal rami of spinal nerves.

PROCEDURE

Multimodal Analgesia

Patients in the control group will receive standard 100mg pregabalin PO, midazolam 2mg IV, fentanyl 100mcg IV.
