Summary
A double blind prospective randomized controlled trial in which the effect of single shot
levobupivacaine 0,25% will be compared with the effect of levobupivacaine 0.25% in
association with dexmedetomidine when performing an ultrasound guided modified pectoral nerve
block , in patients undergoing a mastectomy with axillar procedure.
The difference in effect will be evaluated by monitoring the postoperative morphine
consumption in both groups .
The hypothesis is that there is a significant decrease in morphine consumption during the
first 24h postoperatively due to association of dexmedetomidine to the local anesthetic
compared to the local anesthetic alone when performing a ultrasound guided modified pectoral
nerve block. The morphine consumption will be the primary outcome parameter.
