Official title:
Effects of Ultrasound Guided Pectoral Blok Type 1 on Subcutaneous Port Catheter Replacement : A Randomized Controlled Study
In this study our aim is to investigate the effects of ultrasound (USG) guided pectoral block (PECS) type 1 in the administration of an implanted port-a-cath .
Cancer is one of the most important reasons of mortality in the world. There are a lot of different types of treatments for cancer and so far chemotherapy is the most common one. However, chemotherapy damages the peripheral veins, so implanted subcutaneous port-a-caths are used as an alternative. Traditionally this implantation is adminstered with infiltrative anesthesia. Recently, USG is used in anesthesia practice world wide. Blanco R et all (1) defined PECS 1 block as an alternative to paravertebral block. PECS 1 block aims to anesthetize the medial and lateral pectoral nerves. In this study our aim is to investigate the effects of USG guided PECS 1 block in the administiration of an implanted port-a-cath . ;
