Summary

Nowadays, the incidence of breast cancer is the first number of malignant tumors, and the primary treatment method is surgery. As is known to all, less postoperative complications and enhanced recovery are closely related to effective analgesia. However, postoperative patients often experience moderate pain, while associated with axillary discomfort. Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) relieves postoperative pain, but traditional single point block method has no effect on axillary discomfort. Therefore, it is necessary to try double point blocks to explore their impact on postoperative analgesia and axillary comfort. This RCT will recruit patients proposed to undergo Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM) and be randomized to single point or double point groups to evaluate their postoperative pain score and axillary comfort in order to provide clinical guidance.

Conditions

  • Mammary Cancer
  • Serratus Anterior Plane Block
  • Postoperative Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Double-point SAPB

A high-frequency linear probe (6-13 MHz) of the ultrasound machine was used to identify the fifth rib in the midaxillary line. The anatomic landmarks of the block were identified: latissimus dorsi, serratus anterior, and the intercostal muscles in the fourth and fifth intercostal levels. After sterilization and draping, an 20-gauge needle was introduced craniocaudally using an in-plane technique. The needle tip was advanced, targeting the plane between the serratus anterior muscle and the fifth rib. Needle position was confirmed by injection of 1-to-2 mL of saline after negative aspiration. And use the same method targeting the plane between the serratus anterior muscle and the third rib.Under real-time visualization, total 30 mL of 0.375% ropivacaine and 0.5 μ g/kg dexmedetomidine mixture will be injected into the two points with 15 ml separately.
