Abstract :
Present study aim was to study the potential
advantages of pectoralis nerve block for providing
analgesia in postoperative mastectomy surgery period by
assessing reduction in pain, improved analgesia in the
axilla and upper limb and for reduced morphine
consumption, besides being less invasive, easier and safer
to perform as it is done under ultrasound guidance.
Total 30 ASA I, II and III patients of age between 18 to
80 years were included in this study. All patient received
10ml inj. Bupivacaine 0.25% for pectoral nerve block
under USG guidance, under all aseptic precautions. The
results of my study by using 0.25% of 10ml injection of
bupivacaine is supportive, in proving, the two-level
PECS block is safe, effective, reliable, easy to perform,
decreases opioid consumption, improves postoperative
pain, provides patient satisfaction and psycological relief
in breast cancer related surgery.
