Overview

Observational study shows superior analgesia with serratus anterior plane block in patients undergoing breast surgeries, indicating effective options for pain management.

Key Points

  • Patients receiving the serratus anterior plane block had significantly longer duration of analgesia compared to those receiving the pectoral nerve block.
  • The mean time to first analgesia was 511.0 ± 40 minutes for serratus anterior plane block versus 378.4 ± 60 minutes for pectoral nerve block, with a statistically significant difference.
  • Postoperative pain was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale at multiple time points up to 24 hours post-surgery, focusing on effectiveness and analgesic consumption.
  • This study supports the use of ultrasound-guided regional analgesia techniques, potentially enhancing patient recovery and quality of life after breast surgeries.
