Ultrasound-guided Serratus Plane Block for the Quality of Recovery After Modified Radical Mastectomy

March 3, 2018 updated by: Yao Yusheng, Fujian Provincial Hospital
Regional anesthesia improves quality of recovery after surgery in many studies. Ultrasound-guided serratus plane block is a novel technique which may be a viable alternative to current regional anesthetic techniques. This randomized, controlled trial is to examine the effects of ultrasound-guided serratus plane block anesthetic on the QoR after breast tumor resection.

Detailed Description

A total of 72 subjects (36 patients for each groups) were enrolled in this study. Patients were allocated to either the general anesthesia group (group control) or SPB (serratus plane block) + general anesthesia groups (group SPB) using randomized central computer-generated sequence software (SAS 19.0). The allocation ratio was 1:1 for the two groups. Group assignment was concealed by opaque sticking envelops. The major research content is to evaluate the quality of recovery using 40 questionnaire (QoR-40).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The quality of recovery
Time Frame: at 24 hours after surgery
The primary outcome was the quality of recovery, which was assessed at 24 hours after surgery using a 40-item questionnaire (QoR-40).
at 24 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postoperative pain intensity
Time Frame: at postoperative hours 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24
Postoperative pain intensity was rated at postoperative hours 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.
at postoperative hours 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24
