Clinical Trial Summary

Compare the effect of ropivacaine versus placebo pectoral nerve block (Pecs 1 and 2) on acute pain after tumorectomy plus sentinel lymph node dissection on one day surgery.

Description:

Before surgery, the 3rd interpectoral space will be identified. After aspiration, half of the solution of Ropivacaine 5 mg/ml not exceeding 3 mg/kg of maximal dose and 30 ml of maximal volume or saline (not exceeding 30 ml of maximal volume) will be injected into the interpectoral space underneath the pectoralis major muscle for the Pecs 1 block. The other half of the solution will be injected above the serratus anterior muscle at the third rib.

Evaluation of the percentage of patients treated with step 2 or 3 analgesics during the three postoperative hours.

Primary	To compare the effect of ropivacaine versus placebo pectoral nerve block (Pecs 1 and 2) on acute pain after tumorectomy plus sentinel lymph node dissection on one day surgery	Percentage of patients treated with step 2 or 3 analgesics during the first three postoperative hours after tumorectomy plus sentinel lymph node dissection, between the group with Ropivacaïne and the group with placebo	3 hours
Secondary	Evaluation of acute pain at rest and after shoulder movement until 48 postoperative hours	VAS Scale (0 to 10 : 0 = no pain and 10 = Worst pain possible) at rest and after shoulder movement every 30 minutes during the first three postoperative hours in the PACU and the day surgery unit and then at home every 6 hours for the first 48 postoperative hours .	48 hours
Secondary	Evaluation of acute pain until 48 postoperative hours	Brief Pain Inventory Questionnaires at 48 hours will be collected with VAS Scale (0 to 10 : 0 = no pain and 10 = Worst pain possible)	48 hours
Secondary	Evaluation of patient's satisfaction on pain management	Scale of satisfaction ( 0 to 10 : 0 = very bad and 10 = excellent) of the pain management at 48 post-operative hours	48 hours
Secondary	Evaluation of Remifentanil consumption during anesthesia	Total dose of Remifentanil during anesthesia for a bispectral index between 40-60 or Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) > 60%	3 hours
Secondary	Evaluation of analgesic consumption during the first 48 postoperative hours	Consumption of Ketoprofene in systematic, Paracetamol if VAS>3 and Tramadol if analgesia is not enough during 48 postoperative hours	48 hours
