Perioperative Analgesic Modalities for Breast Cancer Surgeries: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Various analgesic modalities are adopted for perioperative analgesia in breast cancer surgeries. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of intravenous morphine versus serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in breast cancer surgeries.

Patients and methods

Seventy-five breast cancer patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy from January 2020 to June 2020 were randomly allocated into 3 groups; the morphine group received morphine 0.1 mg/kg, the SAPB group received ultrasound-guided SAPB with 25 mL bupivacaine 0.25% and the ESPB group received ultrasound-guided ESPB with 25 mL bupivacaine 0.25%. A visual analogue scale (VAS) 0-10 was used to evaluate pain postoperatively, where 0 denotes no pain and 10 worst pain. If any patien
