Brief summary
Studied the comparison between PECS II block and LIA on pain intensity, opioid requirements, RNL, and postoperative IL-6 levels in MRM patients.
Interventions
Treatment group that received the PECS II block using isobaric bupivacaine 0.5% 50 mg
Treatment group that received the local infiltration anesthesia using isobaric bupivacaine 0.5% 50 mg

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Concentration of Plasma Interleukin-6 | 1 hour before surgery, 2 hour after surgery, 12 hour after surgery | in pg/dL |
| Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio | 1 hour before surgery, 2 hour after surgery, 12 hour after surgery | Neutrophil divided by lymphocyte |
| Pain intensity (Using Numeric Rating Scale) | hour 0, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 | Scale from 0-10, lower score = better outcome |
| Rescue opioid requirement | Within 24 hours after surgery | Using fentanyl at a dose of 0.5-1 μg/kg/IV titrated as needed, in mcg (given if the patient had NRS of \>4/10) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Time until first rescue opioid requirement | Within 24 hours after surgery | in minutes |
| Nausea and vomiting | Within 24 hours after surgery | Nausea and vomiting were assessed using a numerical scale (0 = no nausea, 1 = mild nausea, 2 = severe nausea or vomiting once, and 3 = vomiting more than once). If the score was \> 2, rescue antiemetics with ondansetron 0.1 mg/IV were given. |
| Demographic baseline data | baseline (before the surgery) | Medical record number, age, body weight (in kilogram), height (in centimeter), BMI (in kg/m2), ASA PS class, duration of surgery (in minutes) |
