Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of two anesthesia techniques, the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and the thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), for pain relief after modified radical mastectomy (MRM) in breast cancer patients.
- Conducted on 60 patients, both techniques were administered using ultrasound guidance before surgery, and pain levels and morphine use were monitored postoperatively for 24 hours.
- Results showed similar pain relief from both techniques, but TPVB was more effective at reducing morphine consumption, while ESPB was quicker to perform.
