Effects of PECS 1 Block on Venous Cancer Port Catheter
- Conditions
- Catheter; Pain (Indwelling Catheter)
- Registration Number
- NCT04170699
- Lead Sponsor
- Bulent Ecevit University
- Brief Summary
In this study our aim is to investigate the effects of ultrasound (USG) guided pectoral block (PECS) type 1 in the administration of an implanted port-a-cath .
- Detailed Description
Cancer is one of the most important reasons of mortality in the world. There are a lot of different types of treatments for cancer and so far chemotherapy is the most common one. However, chemotherapy damages the peripheral veins, so implanted subcutaneous port-a-caths are used as an alternative. Traditionally this implantation is adminstered with infiltrative anesthesia. Recently, USG is used in anesthesia practice world wide. Blanco R et all (1) defined PECS 1 block as an alternative to paravertebral block. PECS 1 block aims to anesthetize the medial and lateral pectoral nerves. In this study our aim is to investigate the effects of USG guided PECS 1 block in the administiration of an implanted port-a-cath .

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Perioperative and postoperative analgesic needs of patients Change in Visual analog Scale (VAS) scores ( between 1 and 10, a higher score represents greater pain intensity. ) at the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 12th and 24th hours after the procedure. Our primary outcome is to measure and identify the analgesic needs of the patients at the perioperative and postoperative period.In order to measure the analgesic needs Visual Analogue Scale will be used and patients' pain scores will be measured.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Hemodynamic parameters at the perioperative and postoperative period 1st, 3rd, 6th,12th and 24th hours after the procedure. Our secondary outcome is to measure the hemodynamic parameters such as systolic and diastolic arterial pressure at the perioperative and postoperative period.
