- Brief Summary
Thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) and paravertebral block (PVB) have been utilized to give perioperative regional anesthesia in the trunk. TEA is technically troublesome in some cases, and is associated with a danger of serious complications, such as epidural hematoma, nerve injury, and hypotension. PVB has the benefit of perception of the needle position using ultrasonography. However, PVB is also additionally connected with a danger of serious complications, such as pneumothorax, hypotension, or nerve injury. Newer approaches to deal with PVB have been the focal point of numerous techniques lately; these methodologies incorporate retrolaminar block (RLB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB)
- Detailed Description
Modified radical mastectomy is one of the commonly performed breast surgery. Postoperative pain following mastectomy should be minimized, as in a number of women it may chronically persist for months in the form of post-mastectomy pain syndrome.
Morphine administration for acute pain after mastectomy surgery has many side effects. Regional block techniques as para-vertebral block and thoracic epidural anesthesia have possible complications and technical difficulties.
The new alternative regional techniques such as erector spinae plane block and retrolaminar block are clinical trials for providing a safe and easy with good hemodynamic and recovery profile with adequate perioperative analgesia for a large section of patients undergoing mastectomy operation in order to reduce opioids consumption and subsequently avoid opioid-related adverse effects.
As percent of post-operative rescue analgesia is 16.7% and 60% for RLB group and ESPB group respectively. So, sample size is 46 patients (23 patients in each group). Sample was calculated using OPEN EPI program with confidence level 95% and power 80%.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Total fentanyl dose. from induction to end of surgery The anesthesiologist will administer intravenous fentanyl 0.5 μg/kg when the heart rate or blood pressure of the patients increased \>20% from basal measurements after exclusion of other causes.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time of requirement of rescue dose of Fentanyl. up to 24hour postoperative Time of requirement of rescue dose of Fentanyl.
pain intensity by Visual Analogue Scale at 30 minutes then at 2, 4, 8, 12, 18 and 24 hours post-operatively. • Static and dynamic pain scores (VAS) at 30 minutes, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18 and 24 hours post-operatively.
pain intensity will be evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). VAS is a 10 cm horizontal line labeled "no pain" at one end and "worst pain" imaginable on the other end. The patient will be asked to mark on this line where the intensity of the patient lies.Total amount of postoperative Fentanyl up to 24hour postoperative Total amount of Fentanyl consumed during the first 24 hours after surgery.
Post-operative nausea and vomiting up to 24hour postoperative • Post-operative nausea and vomiting will be noticed, recorded using a categorical scoring system (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe) and treated, Ondansetron 4 mg IV will be administered in case of reported nausea and/or vomiting
Complications including hypotension MAP < 60, bradycardia HR < 60b/m, nausea, vomiting and allergic reactions. up to 24hour postoperative Complications including hypotension MAP \< 60, bradycardia HR \< 60b/m, nausea, vomiting and allergic reactions.
Overall patient satisfaction up to 24hour postoperative • Overall patient satisfaction at the end of the 24 hours post-operative using short assessment patient satisfaction scale (SAPS scale fully satisfied, neutral satisfied or unsatisfied)
