Description
Satish Kumar and co-authors compare in 2026 two ultrasound guided nerve blocks for pain after radical breast surgery in a double blind randomised trial. Women aged 18 to 70 years got either an erector spinae plane block or a rhomboid intercostal block before their operation.
Total fentanyl use in the first 24 hours after surgery was the main score for the trial. The back muscle block group used a mean of 2.67 units per kilogram, versus 3.68 in the rib block group, a firm gap. Pain scores and drug use during surgery did not differ in a clear way. Less opioid need favours the back block where teams can offer it.
