Effect of Erector Spinae Block and Pectoralis Block on Quality of Recovery and Analgesia After Modified Radical Mastectomy

Le résumé fourni par la source

Objectives: Post-operative pain after a modified radical mastectomy ranges from moderate to severe. Pectoralis (PECS) block has been found to be more effective than erector spinae block in reducing pain and the consumption of rescue analgesia in the post-operative period. This study aimed to compare the effect of erector spinae block and PECS block on the quality of recovery after modified radical mastectomy using the quality of recovery (QoR-40) score. Methods: October 2021. After general anaesthesia, patients were given blocks according to computer-generated randomisation: Group I: PEC I and PEC II (PECS) blocks; Group II: erector spinae plane (ESP) block; and Group III: control group (no intervention). The QoR-40 score was observed on the morning of the surgery and after 24 hours. Time to rescue analgesia and the total consumption of rescue analgesia in the first 24 hours were also observed. Results: <0.0001). Conclusion: Both ESP and PECS blocks were effective in improving the QoR score and in reducing the consumption of rescue analgesia after modified radical mastectomy.
