We Have Two Groups. Both Groups Received a Deep Serratus Anterior Plane Block. One Group Had a Catheter for Continuous Infusion, While the Other Received IV Analgesics Postoperatively. Analgesic Effects Between the Two Groups Were Compared (DSAPB)

About

The aim of this observational study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of continuous infusion via peripheral catheter versus single-shot serratus anterior plane block in women aged 18 to 80 undergoing breast-conserving surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does continuous serratus anterior plane block via peripheral catheter provide superior postoperative analgesic efficacy compared to single-shot serratus anterior plane block? Second question is: Does continuous infusion via catheter in peripheral nerve blocks reduce the amount of intravenous analgesics consumed and improve patient comfort?

50 participants in 2 patient groups

SAPB

Active Comparator group

Description:

The SAPB arm receives single shot deep serratus anterior plane block before surgery. Also receives iv analgesic treatment after post-operative duration.

Treatment:

Procedure: Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) group

DSAPB

Experimental group

Description:

The DSAPB arm receives deep serratus anterior plane block and cathather replacement before surgery. After surgery, the arm takes continous analgesic treatment via periferic block cathather.

Treatment:

Procedure: Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) group
