Overview

Randomized trial compares pectoral nerve block and rhomboid intercostal block effectiveness, suggesting both provide analgesia.

Key Points

  • Patients receiving the pectoralis nerve block had higher pain scores post-surgery, indicating differences in efficacy.
  • While both blocks were effective, the pectoralis nerve block showed statistically significant higher blood pressure compared to the rhomboid intercostal block.
  • Postoperative heart rate, blood pressure, and visual analogue scale scores were measured at various intervals to assess analgesia.
  • Both techniques provide long-lasting analgesic effects, allowing flexibility in clinical practice based on clinician preference.
