Official scientific title |
Magnesium Sulphate infiltration for postoperative analgesia following mastectomy. A randomized controlled trial. |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among Egyptian women as it represents 32.04% of all cancers according to the latest epidemiologic study, with an expected 20% increase in number of patients by year 2020.
Modified Radical Mastectomy(MRM) entails extensive tissue dissection with axillary lymph node evacuation resulting in significant acute postoperative pain in about 40% of patients.Wound infiltration with local anesthetics is important in multimodal analgesia. Unfortunately the analgesic effect is related to the local anesthetics duration of action, approximately 4¿8 h in case of bupivacaine or ropivacaine. Magnesium plays a major role in antinociception as it is a naturally occurring calcium competitor and a non-competitive antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Studies have shown better postoperative analgesia when magnesium was administered directly to the surgical area compared to systemic administration.
We hypothesized that infiltrating magnesium in pectoralis major muscle would greatly improve functional recovery following MRM especially during arm movement compared to local anesthetic wound infiltration alone.
¿Our primary objective was to assess acute postoperative pain at rest and during arm movement.
Secondary objectives included quality of analgesia based on time to first demand for rescue analgesia, number of analgesic demands, 24h cumulative analgesic consumption, nausea and vomiting, wound hematoma or any complication during the 24 hour observation period.
