Brief summary
This study is designed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of ketamine compared to neostigmine as adjuvants to LA in ultrasound guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) in patients undergoing Modified Radical Mastectomy. We hypothesize that adding either neostigmine or ketamine to bupivacaine in ultrasound guided SAPB would increase the total analgesic duration and decrease the total 24 hr postoperative Nalbuphine consumption compared to SAPB with bupivacaine only. The first 24 hr of postoperative Nalbuphine consumption is set as the primary outcome. The time of the first request of analgesia, pain score, side effects of drugs and patient hemodynamics are set as the secondary outcomes.
