Usefulness of ultrasound-guided serratus-anterior block in prevention of postoperative pain after breast surgery. A cohort study
2024
Overview
To evaluate superficial serratus anterior plane block's efficacy and side effects in preventing postoperative pain after breast cancer surgery.
A prospective cohort study was conducted on 195 adult patients undergoing breast oncological surgery under general anesthesia (Group G, n = 96) or combined general anesthesia with superficial serratus anterior plane block (Group L, n = 99).
Validated preoperative data, which are predictors of chronic postoperative pain of patients, were recorded (type of surgery, age, pain in the area of the intervention and the other regions; anesthetic-surgical data, analgesic doses used, duration of surgery; pain intensity (EVN scale) at immediate postoperative period, 24 h, seven days and one month after the surgery, and complications.
Pain intensity, measured by the EVN scale, had a mean of 1.02 +/− 1.656 in the Postoperative Unit; 1.20 +/− 1.448 at 24 h; 0.76 +/− 1208 seven days; and 0.34 +/− 0.757 one month after surgery.
Patients were operated under general anesthesia (n = 96) or general anesthesia combined with the interfascial block (n = 99). Significant differences (p < 0.05) were found in age, height, and VAS scale in PACU. Ten complications were recorded, six in Group L and four in Group G. There were no differences between groups in complications.
Superficial serratus anterior plane blocks are effective and safe in pain control in the immediate postoperative period for breast cancer surgery as a part of the multimodal approach. No significant differences were found one week and one month after surgery.
•Serratus anterior block is used in clinical practice. The efficacy and side effects remain understudied.•Analgesic interfascial blockades provide significative analgesia in the immediate postoperative period•No complications associated with the analgesic technique were recorded.
