Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Intraoperative PECS block when given to patient undergoing MRM will result in early post-operative recovery, reduced post-operative pain, less use of opioid analgesics and associated nausea and vomit-ing and improved quality of lifeTimepoint: The patient shall be assessed at 4,8 and24, 36, 48, 72 hrs, at the time of discharge,2nd week, 1 month and 3 months post discharge—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare between the two groups in terms of- The total analgesia requirement during hos-pital stays by comparing the TME (total morphine equivalent) score Time to rescue analgesia The patient satisfaction at discharge using Likerts scale The quality of life at 3 months with in terms of Breast Q questionnaire Timepoint: The patient shall be assessed at 4,8 and24, 36, 48, 72 hrs, at the time of discharge,2nd week, 1 month & 3 months post discharge—
