Paravertebral Versus Pectoralis Block for Post Mastectomy Pain
A Comparison of the Paravertebral Block Versus Pectoralis Block in Controlling Bilateral Post-mastectomy Pain in Setting of Tissue Expander Placement

Detailed Description
Post-mastectomy pain occurs in up to 55% of patients and can last for months. The development of chronic pain is related to experienced perioperative pain. The development of chronic pain is related to experienced perioperative pain. There is great potential to enhance the quality of life for breast surgery patients if the hospital can improve our perioperative pain prevention techniques. New to the spectrum of multimodal analgesia is the pectoralis block (PECs), which provides anesthesia to the anterior and anterior lateral chest wall as well to the axilla. This study is about aims to compare the pectoralis block to paravertebral block with benefits of ease placement, less risk for harm to nearby structures including pneumothorax, spinal cord trauma, sympathetic block and hypotension.
Literature reveals that the pectoralis block has provided improved pain scores as well as decreases post-operative nausea and vomiting, longer block duration, and subsequent pain relief in patient. Despite these promising preliminary studies, there remains a paucity on the effectiveness of the PECs Block, particularly regarding long term outcomes for patients.
Furthermore, there is no literature to date which has evaluated the best regional anesthetic technique for patients who receive breast tissue expanders, which can cause a significant amount of muscle pain and spasm due to the intended muscle disruption during surgical placement. The primary outcomes of this study is to compare total opioid consumption during the post-surgical period limited to 24 hrs beginning at PACU admission between patients who receive bilateral pectoralis plane versus bilateral paravertebral blocks and subsequently undergo bilateral mastectomy with tissue expanders.
The secondary outcomes includes post-operative pain scores on PACU arrival and discharge, post-operative days (POD) 1, 7, and 30, presence/absence of axillary pain, muscle relaxant consumption, presence of severity of muscle spasm, total antiemetic consumption 24-hrs beginning at PACU admission, presence of chronic opioid use (Defined as consumption at 30 days), time to perform block, and PACU duration.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Pectoralis Blockade(PECs)
Participants undergo pectoralis nerve block (PEC II) will received anesthesia between the pectoralis major and minor in the chest while lying flat.
|
Ten milliliters of 0.25% bupivacaine with 2.5 mcg/ml epinephrine will be deposited between the pectoralis major and minor (PECs I) and 20 cc of 0.25% bupivacaine with 2.5mcg/ml epinephrine deposited between the pectoralis minor and serratus anterior muscle.
|
Active Comparator: Paravertebral Blockade (PVB)
Participants undergoing paravertebral nerve block (PVB) consisting of receiving anesthesia in the back while sitting upright.
|
10cc of 0.25% bupivacaine with 2.5 mcg/ml epinephrine will be deposited at two levels (T3 and T5) per side while in the sitting position.
