About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Serratus Plane Block

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • women undergoing radical mastectomy with either sentinel lymph node dissection or axillary lymph node dissection or no axillary lymph node dissection
  • between the ages of 18 and 85 yr
  • with an American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status I or II
  • without any significant cardiopulmonary, renal and hepatic dysfunction

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with any previous cancer other than breast cancer
  • occurrence of allergy to local anesthetics
  • occurrence of opioid-tolerant subjects
  • occurrence of consuming analgesics, sedatives, antidepressants or any history of substance abuse before surgery

Sites / Locations

  • Department of Anesthesiology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Placebo Comparator

Experimental

Arm Label

Control group

SPB group

Arm Description

saline control group, 15 mL of the saline was administered to superficial and deep surface of serratus anterior in Control group via ultrasound before the surgery

Serratus plane block group, 15ml of 0.25% ropivacaine, a widely used local anesthetic for peripheral nerve block, was administered to superficial and deep surface of serratus anterior in SPB group via ultrasound before the surgery

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) of chronic pain
Pain intensity of patients was evaluated by Numerical Rating Scale, rating from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain) in order to evaluate the effect of SPB in preventing chronic pain

Secondary Outcome Measures

the change trend of Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) after surgery
Pain intensity of patients was evaluated by Numerical Rating Scale, rating from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain) in order to evaluate the analgesic effect of SPB
Morphine consumption
extra need of analgesic

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
A prospective, double-blinded randomized controlled, 1-year follow-up study was designed to compare the analgesic effect of serratus plane block (SPB) after breast cancer surgery. Women undergoing radical mastectomy were dIvided into Control group and SPB group. The postoperative acute pain was evaluated by numerical rating scale (NRS) and the effect of preventing chronic pain was assessed at 3, 6, 12 months after surgery by NRS.

Arm Title
Control group
Arm Type
Placebo Comparator
Arm Description
saline control group, 15 mL of the saline was administered to superficial and deep surface of serratus anterior in Control group via ultrasound before the surgery
Arm Title
SPB group
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
Serratus plane block group, 15ml of 0.25% ropivacaine, a widely used local anesthetic for peripheral nerve block, was administered to superficial and deep surface of serratus anterior in SPB group via ultrasound before the surgery
Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
serratus plane block with local anesthetic
Intervention Description
The high-frequency linear array ultrasound transducer (UST) was placed parallel to the cephalocaudal axis of the body in T4 levels on the side of the mid-axillary line, identifying latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior, through the thoracic artery to help to find the serratus anterior and 15 ml 0.25% ropivacaine was administered.
