Ultrasound Guided Costotransverse Block for Breast Cancer Surgery

Costotransverse block is a novel regional anesthesia technique described a few months ago. It's use for breast surgery has been reported by only one case report in the literature. As the investigators have considered that Costotransverse block can be efficacious for providing postoperative analgesia in the breast surgeries, the investigators have implemented the application of this blockade into practice at the clinic. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided unilateral costotransverse block in breast cancer surgery.

Inclusion criteria

  • patients undergoing breast canser surgery under general anesthesia ASA I-II

Exclusion criteria

  • patients undergoing breast surgery under paravertebral block and others morbidly obesity ASA III - IV infection of the skin at the site of needle puncture area patients with known allergies to any of the study drugs coagulopathy recent use of analgesic/steroid drugs

Treatment and study plan

costotransverse block

Other

patient controlled analgesia devices with tramadol

Other names: patient controlled analgesia

Primary outcomes

  1. 24 hours morphine consumption

    Time frame: 24 hours

    morphine consumptions for both group will be recorded

Secondary outcomes

  1. Numeric rating scale for postoperative pain intensity

    Time frame: 24 hours

    Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at intervals. NRS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in adults. The NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable").
