modified pectoral nerves block

serratus plane block

Arm Description

Modified pectoral nerves block with general anesthesia. Using the ultrasound, 10 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% with epinephrine 5 ug/ml will be injected in the plane between the pectoralis major and minor muscles. And another 20 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% with epinephrine 5 ug/ml will be injected in the plane between the pectoralis minor and the serratus anterior muscles.

Serratus plane block with general anesthesia. Using the ultrasound, 0.4 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% with epinephrine 5 ug/ml will be injected in the plane between the serratus anterior muscle and the underlying ribs.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic profile of modified pectoral nerves block and serratus plane block in patients undergoing mastectomy.
Detailed Description
This study includes three groups. The first group will receive ultrasound-guided modified pectoral nerves block prior to induction of general anesthesia. The second one will receive ultrasound-guided serratus plane block prior to induction of general anesthesia. The third one will not receive any block preoperatively.
