Randomized trial shows PECS blocks with dexamethasone improved pain relief in breast surgery, suggesting better outcomes for patients.

PECS blocks with dexamethasone significantly reduced opioid consumption after breast surgery, hinting at improved pain management.
Patients receiving PECS blocks with dexamethasone had a longer duration to first rescue analgesia, demonstrating enhanced analgesic efficacy.
The randomized trial included 60 patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy, providing a robust dataset for analyzing pain management.
Findings support the integration of PECS blocks with dexamethasone into perioperative care to enhance patient outcomes and comfort.
