Pectoserratus Plane Block in Breast Surgery: Analgesic Doses of Local Anesthetics Can Be Used for Surgical Anesthesia-A Case Report.
Based on our experience, the local anesthetic concentrations used to date in fascial plane blocks may be excessively high. Local anesthetic concentrations previously considered only analgesic (eg, ropivacaine 0.3%) could now be considered anesthetic concentrations with the addition of the right adjuvants and with the correct execution of fascial plane blocks. In this article, we present the case of a frail woman, who underwent awake surgery for unilateral breast cancer, thanks to ultrasound-guided pectoserratus plane block, with ropivacaine 0.3% and the addition of dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine as adjuvants.
