Evaluation of Ultrasound Guided Thoracic Paravertebral Block in Perioperative Pain Management in Patients Undergoing Modified Radical Mastectomy

Abstract

Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) is an effective intraoperative and technique for surgical anaesthesia and analgesia for breast surgery. It offers a long-lasting effective analgesia without increases in side effects, with a significant decrease in anaesthetic and analgesic consumption, and with a high degree of patient satisfaction and shorter recovery time. Paravertebral blockade (PVB) is a regional anaesthetic technique with a large number of indications. PVB is usually performed with landmark-based techniques, methods that rely on pressure differences between the extra- and intra paravertebral space or ultrasound guided.
