Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The aim of this study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of multilevel erector spinae plane block (ESPB) vs thoracic epidural in modified radical mastectomy (MRM) regarding duration of analgesia, postoperative opioid consumption, effect on intraoperative fentanyl consumption, postoperative numerical pain rating scale and quality of life for the next 6 months.

Treatments
Experimental: Erector spinae plane block (ESPB)
Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) using multilevel injections of bupivacaine 0.25%.~We injected 15ml at the level of T2 and 15ml at the level of T5.
Experimental: Thoracic epidural block
Thoracic epidural block at level of T5 -T6 using 10 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% as a bolus followed by 5 ml bupivacaine 0.25% every 1-2 hours depending on the duration of surgery and the response of the patient.
