Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Compare the efficacy of two different concentration of levobupivacaine with adjuvant dexmedetomidine used in ultrasound guided pectoralis nerve block.   In the present study, our main objective was to compare the efficacy of levobupivacaine 0.125% adjuvant (dexmedetomidine) with levobupivacaine 0.25% adjuvant (dexmedetomidine) in an ultrasound-guided PEC Block as analgesia during a 24-hr period after MRM. Our secondary aim will be to investigate whether the PEC Block reduced the amount of analgesia used postoperatively. Post operative monitoring will be carried out in the recovery room and the postoperative ward. The duration of analgesia will be noted according to “visual analogue scale for pain” at 30 mins,1hr, 2hrs,4 hrs, 6hrs, 12hrs and 24hrs after surgery. When the patient complained of pain (Visual Analogue Score of 4), it will be considered that the analgesic action of the drug has been terminated. Patient will be given rescue analgesic in the form of Injection diclofenac sodium .If there is break through pain before 8 hours , Injection tramadol will be given as second rescue analgesia. 
Intervention  Ultrasound guided pectoralis nerve block  A prospective, comparative, randomized single blind study, Comparative evaluation of ultrasound guided PECS block of the two concentration of levobupivacaine with adjuvant dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy for post operative analgesia , after carcinoma beast surgery.

Brief Summary   Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the women worldwide. Mastectomy is the treatment of choice for carcinoma breast stage-I and -II with tumours not involving the chest-muscle fascia. Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) involves removal of the whole breast which includes the skin, areola, nipple, and most axillary lymph nodes. During mastectomy, some of the nerves in the chest are severed. Most women have some level of pain after the procedure. Severe acute postoperative pain following breast surgery not only increases the risk of persistent pain and affects recovery, it also leads to longer hospitalization and increased healthcare costs. Pectoral nerve block can provide a good analgesic effect for pain after carcinoma breast surgery. PECS blocks have also been proposed as alternative techniques to anesthetize operative regions such as the axilla, proximal medial upper arm, and posterior shoulder. In our study we are planning to give PECS block before induction of general anesthesia in two different concentration of levobupivacaine with adjuvant (dexmedetomidine).We will look which concentration of levobupivacaine with adjuvant (dexmedetomidine) will be better for postoperative analgesia .
