Overview

Randomized trial compares two pain management techniques in breast cancer surgery, suggesting ESPB may reduce opioid use.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane blocks compared to rhomboid intercostal blocks for postoperative pain management in breast cancer surgery.
  • Double-blind, randomized controlled trial
  • Involves patients aged 18-70 years undergoing unilateral modified radical mastectomy
  • Primary outcome is total postoperative fentanyl usage in the first 24 hours.
  • Ultrasound-guided ESPB resulted in lower total postoperative fentanyl consumption compared to RIB
  • NRS pain scores showed no significant difference between the two groups
