Comparison of Erector Spinae Plane Block With Thoracic Paravertebral Block for Breast Surgery

Postoperative analgesia in breast surgery is a difficult and overworked issue due to etensive surgery and complex innervation of the breast. Erector spinae plane block (ESB) is a new defined and promising regional anesthesia technique for thoracic analgesia. Main purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided ESB with thoracic paravertebral block - the golden standard method for postoperative regional analgesia technique in breast surgery.

24 hour morphine consumption will be recorded

Erector spinae plane block

Other

erector spinae plane block will be administered before the surgery

Thoracic paravertebral block

Other

thoracic paravertebral block will be administered before the surgery

Primary outcomes

  1. Morphine consumption

    Time frame: 24 hour postoperatively

    All patients will be provided with IV morphine PCA and morphine consumption after 24 hour postoperatively will be recorded.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Numering Rating Scale scores for pain

    Time frame: 24 hour

    Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain will be used. The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) is an 11-point scale for patient self-reporting of pain. It is for adults and children 10 years old or older. 0 means no pain and 10 means most imaginable pain

  2. Postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Time frame: 24h
