Analgesic Effects of Ultrasound Guided PEC Blocks on Analgesic Opioid Consumption of Cancer Surgery Patients
In Brief
An observational study evaluating PECS Block and Bupivacaine 0.25-0.5% for Malignant Neoplasm of Breast. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Examining the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided Pectoral Blocks on analgesic opioid consumption after surgical removal of breast tissue. This study's uniqueness is in the quantification of the analgesic effect of regional anesthesia on its influence to reduce the use of opioid substances, and the variety of side effects associated with them, which has yet to been described in literature.

Interventions
As standard departmental protocol ultrasound guided PECS Block will be performed by identifying the thoracic muscles. Following the identification, the investigator will inject the anesthetic solution which will contain the conventional 25 cc of Bupivacaine 0.25-0.5% . The concentration is determined by the upper dose limit to 2 mg / kg 11
