Opioid Free Anesthesia
Conditions
Brief summary
A comparison of incidences of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) , postoperative pain severity and recovery parameters in breast cancer patients receiving opioid or opioid-free general anesthesia.
Detailed description
Breast cancer is one of the most common oncologic diagnosis in women. Surgery is traditionally performed under general anesthesia with opioid-based analgesia. It is associated with higher incidences of PONV, more severe acute postoperative pain and increased incidences of chronic pain. The possibility of higher risk of metastasis has also been reported. The purpose of our study is to compare the opioid-free general anesthesia with the opioid-based general anesthesia with respect to the quality of recovery, postoperative pain and cancer recurrence and metastasis.
Interventions
Paravertebral block will be performed at T2,T4 level on the surgical side using out-of-plane approach under ultrasound-guided, with 0.4% ropivacaine 20ml at each injection site.
propofol, lidocine and muscle relaxant will be used for induction, after laryngeal mask airway insertion, general anesthesia will be maintained.
Local infiltration at the same site of paravertebral block will be performed, with 1% lidocaine 3ml on each injection site.
propofol, sufentanil and muscle relaxant will be used for induction, after laryngeal mask airway insertion, general anesthesia will be maintained .
