Summary
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of paravertebral block and erector spinae plane
block after mastectomy.
The primary objective of this randomized controlled trial is to demonstrate equivalent
dermatomal spread for ultrasound-guided single-injection Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block
performed at T4-T5 level and ultrasound-guided single-injection (paravertebral) PVB block at
the same level.
Secondary objectives are Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores in the first 24
post-operative hours, opioid analgesia use intra-operatively and in the first 24
post-operative hours, block procedural time and patient discomfort during block insertion.
The investigators hypothesize that ESP block efficacy is not inferior to PVB with reference
to dermatomal sensory spread and analgesic efficacy, while being easier to perform with less
associated discomfort during block insertion.
