About this trial
Here, in our study, we intend to compare the analgesic efficacy of magnesium sulfate as an adjuvant to local anesthetics added to the Pecto-Intercostal Fascial Block (PIFB) vs the Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.
Study Endpoints Primary Endpoints: Total intravenous opioid consumption during the first 24 hours following surgery. Secondary Endpoints: Postoperative analgesia, 24 hours after surgery, assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and time to first analgesic request.
