Ropivacaine 0,2% Plus Dexamethasone Versus Ropivacaine 0,2% Plus Placebo in Modified Pectoral Block

Study Description
Brief Summary:
To find out if dexamethasone used as adjuvant to ropivacaine, a long-lasting local anesthetic, prolongs the duration of modified pectoral nerve block in women undergoing breast surgery.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Effect of Drugs Breast Pain Anesthesia, Local Drug: Dexamethasone Drug: Placebo Drug: Ropivacaine Injection [Naropin] Phase 4

Detailed Description:

Breast surgeries are one of the most common forms of surgery conducted in hospitals, and even relatively minor interventions can be associated with significant postoperative pain. The most common surgical procedure for breast cancer is modified radical mastectomy, which means removing a generous amount of skin and the entire breast with axillary evacuation. According to the literature, up to 50% of breast surgery patients experience severe acute postoperative pain, with 10-40% breast cancer patients experiencing pain a year or more after surgery.

Poorly controlled postoperative pain has negative physiological and psychological consequences. Furthermore, effective acute pain control preserves immune function both by suppressing surgical stress response and decreasing the need for general anesthetics and opioids in the perioperative period.

The ultrasound-guided modified, pectoral nerve block is a frequently used, easy, and reliable technique to provide complete analgesia during and after breast surgery. A major limitation to its use for postoperative analgesia is that the analgesic effect lasts only a few hours, after which moderate to severe pain at the surgical site may result in the need for alternative analgesic therapy. Several adjuvants have been used to prolong the analgesic duration of peripheral nerve block, including perineural/interfascial or intravenous dexamethasone.

Our aim is to explore the efficacy of 8 mg dexamethasone added to US-guided modified pectoral nerve block on postoperative pain in patients undergoing major breast surgery.

Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: ropivacaine + dexamethasone
Every participant receives general anesthesia and a modified pectoral nerve block for breast surgery. Participants of this arm receive single-shot ropivacaine (0,2%, 30ml) plus 2ml dexamethasone (8mg).
Drug: Dexamethasone
modified pectoralis block for breast surgery with ropivacaine combined with dexamethasone 8mg.
Other Name: Dexabene

Drug: Ropivacaine Injection [Naropin]
30ml (=60mg) for modified pectoralis block (thoracic regional fascial plane block)
Other Name: Naropin

Placebo Comparator: ropivacaine + placebo
Every participant receives general anesthesia and a modified pectoral nerve block for breast surgery. Participants of this arm receive single-shot ropivacaine (0,2%, 30ml) plus 2ml placebo (NaCl 0,9%).
Drug: Placebo
modified pectoralis block for breast surgery with ropivacaine combined with placebo (NaCl 0,9%).
Other Name: sodium chloride (NaCl) 0,9%

Drug: Ropivacaine Injection [Naropin]
30ml (=60mg) for modified pectoralis block (thoracic regional fascial plane block)
Other Name: Naropin

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. morphine consumption in the first 72 hours [ Time Frame: 72 hours ]
    every participants receives a morphine pump (PCA) to exactly measure opioid-consumption


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. VAS-scores in the first 72 hours [ Time Frame: 72 hours ]
    Every participant is being repeatedly asked to score pain intensity on the visual-analog scale (VAS). This is a measurement instrument for subjective characteristics or attitudes that cannot be directly measured. When responding to a VAS item, respondents specify their level of agreement to a statement by indicating a position along a continuous line between two end-points (0-10). VAS is the most common scale for pain quantification worldwide. A VAS-scale of 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "worst pain imaginable".
