Arm Label
PECS+subcutaneus local anesthetic infiltration
Local anesthetic infiltration
Arm Description
Preoperative ultrasound-led PECS II blockade with ropivacaine 3,75mg/ml (2mg/kg). After surgery - wound infiltration by the surgeon with ropivacaine 2mg/ml (1mg/kg).
Prior to scrubbing surgeon infiltrates the thought incision area with ropivacaine 3,75/ml (1mg/kg). Perioperatively after removal of the tumor follows the deep infiltration of the wound with ropivacaine 3,75mg/ml (2mg/kg).
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
maximal pain in PACU measured with 11 point numerical rating scale (NRS)
NRS scale is a validated for assessment of pain. It is a 11 point scale (0-10) used to estimate severity of postoperative pain. On NRS scale the higher value indicates more severe symptoms.
Intraoperative fentanyl use
dose of fentanyl used during surgery in milligrams [mg].
Secondary Outcome Measures
Postoperative analgesic use
Postoperative analgesic use is related to pain severity and can be a factor leading to increased length of stay in PACU.
Maximal postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV) in PACU measured with 11 point numerical rating scale (NRS)
PONV NRS similar to pain NRS is an 11 point scale (0-10) used to estimate severity of postoperative nausea. On NRS scale the higher value indicates more severe symptoms.
Length of stay in PACU
Is an dependant of multiple factors and an important measurement that can indicate beneficial therapeutic choice.
Maximal postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV) after discharge from PACU measured with 11 point numerical rating scale (NRS)
PONV NRS similar to pain NRS is an 11 point scale used to estimate severity of postoperative nausea.
Maximal pain after discharge from PACU measured with 11 point numerical rating scale (NRS)
NRS scale is a validated for assessment of pain.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Pectoralis nerves plane block (PECS) first described by Blanco in 2011 has become part of postoperative pain management in breast surgery, thoracic surgery and thoracic trauma. The combination of low complication risk and easiness in mastering of PECS block has made it an interesting alternative to thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEDA) and paravertebral blockade (PVB) for pain treatment after breast surgery. Several studies showed good results when PECS was compared to PVB. PECS blockade however is a procedure requiring some resources in the operating room. An alternative approach is to inject local anesthetics (LA) in the operation field by the surgeon.
The hypothesis' tested in this study is primarily: that PECS blockade is superior to LA being injected by surgeon in the operating field measured by end points such as: post-operative pain, post-operative analgesics use, post-operative nausea or vomiting (PONV) and length of stay in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU).
