Ultrasound-guided Serratus Plane Block for the Quality of Recovery After Modified Radical Mastectomy

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2017-06-14
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

Regional anesthesia improves quality of recovery after surgery in many studies. Ultrasound-guided serratus plane block is a novel technique which may be a viable alternative to current regional anesthetic techniques. This randomized, controlled trial is to examine the effects of ultrasound-guided serratus plane block anesthetic on the QoR after breast tumor resection.
