T2-T6 Ultrasound guided Intercostal blocks versus General anaesthesia in quadrantectomies for perioperative and chronic pain management

T2-T6 Ultrasound guided Intercostal blocks versus General anaesthesia in quadrantectomies for perioperative and chronic pain management in women with breast cancer.

Sponsor

Mazza Andrea

Enrollment

120 participants

Start Date

Sep 15, 2009

Study Type

Interventional

Conditions

We study the possibility that regional anaesthesia can reduce hospitalization, operatory room occupation and costs. Patients undergoing quadrantectomies without axillary dissection.We study the possibility that regional anaesthesia in breast surgery can reduce neuropathic long term pain, as a preemptive analgesia. Patients undergoing quadrantectomies without axillary dissection.

Summary

This study is designed to decide if a regional anaesthesia for quadrantectomies is better than a general anaesthesia (the standard treatment). Pain and organization are the main outcomes. This new technique offers the possibility to reduce complications in patients with cardiovascular and lung comorbidities.

Eligibility

Sex: Females

  • Classification American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) 1-2-3.
  • Patients with breaast cancer scheduled for quadrantectomy without axillary dissection.

Exclusion Criteria2

  • Classification American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) 4.

Regional anaesthesia. T2-T6 ultrasound guided intercostal blocks for quadrantectomies. The techique lasts a few minutes (max 3) and consists in infiltrating under ultrasound guidance the intercostal nerves from T2 to T6 with 3ml of ropivacaine 7.5mg/ml for each space. The technique is performed just once, before the intervention and non other treatment is required.
