Postoperative Analgesic Effectiveness of Fascial Plane Blocks in Breast Surgery
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Rhomboid intercostal plane block: A fascial plane block in which local anesthetic is injected into the plane between the rhomboid major and intercostal muscles. The treating anesthesiologist selects the technique as part of routine clinical care, and the type and dose of local anesthetic used are recorded.
Serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block: A fascial plane block in which local anesthetic is injected into the plane between the serratus posterior superior and intercostal muscles. The treating anesthesiologist selects the technique as part of routine clinical care, and the type and dose of local anesthetic used are recorded.
Control Group: Participants managed with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia as selected by the responsible anesthesiologist during routine clinical care.
Study summary
This prospective, single-center observational study will compare postoperative pain control in adults undergoing elective breast surgery. Ninety participants will be evaluated in three groups based on routine clinical care: rhomboid intercostal plane block, serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block, and control. The anesthesia method and fascial plane block will be selected by the treating anesthesiologist, and the research team will not assign participants to a group. The main outcome is the total amount of tramadol used through patient-controlled analgesia during the first 24 hours after surgery. Pain scores at rest and during movement, sensory block levels, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and block-related complications will also be recorded.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Cumulative Tramadol Consumption During the First 24 Hours After Surgery — During the first 24 postoperative hours
The total amount of tramadol consumed through the patient-controlled analgesia device will be recorded in milligrams at postoperative hour 24.
