Filter by:Purpose to compare paravertebral thoracic block (PVB) and pectorals nerves block as analgesic option for major breast surgery. 102 patients undergoing reconstruction breast surgery will be randomized into two groups: Group PVB (n=51) will receive US guided paravertebral thoracic block (between T2-T6) performed with 30ml of 0.25% levobupivacaine before general anesthesia (TCI-TIVA) induction. Morphine patient control analgesia (PCA) with loading dose i.v. titrated by the PACU nurse if pain > 5/10 at rest Group PECS (n=51) will receive US guided pectorals nerves block performed with 30ml of 0.25% levobupivacaine before general anesthesia (TCI-TIVA) induction. Morphine PCA with loading dose i.v. titrated by the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) nurse if pain > 5/10 at rest Primary Outcome Measures: Morphine consumption (mg) (Time Frame: 24 hours) in two Groups Secondary Outcome Measures: Pain at rest and during movement quantified as Numerical Rating Scores (0-10) during the first 24 hours postoperatively. Eventual side effects such as nausea/vomiting. Time necessary to perform the procedure. Pain during procedure execution quantified as Numerical Rating Scores (0-10) Hypnotic and opioids intraoperative consumption to ensure general anesthesia with Bispectral Index between 40 and 60.
