Ultrasound Guided Costotransverse Block for Breast Cancer Surgery

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Postoperative Pain
• Interventions: Other: costotransverse block

• Registration Number: NCT04197206
• Lead Sponsor: Cigli Regional Training Hospital

Brief Summary

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Costotransverse block	costotransverse block	The Costotransverse block will be administrated to this group before induction of anesthesia. An intravenous patient-controlled analgesia device within morphine will be given to the patients postoperatively.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
24 hours morphine consumption	24 hours	morphine consumptions for both group will be recorded

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Numeric rating scale for postoperative pain intensity	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").
