So to address any under-development in your pectoral muscles were going to get your blood pumping. Surgery was completed uneventfully.

Out of 30 patients who received the PECS Block 77 of patients had a pain score of 0-1 and 17 had mild pain.

. See Article p 1559. Eg saline Standard. The serratus plane block will provide similar coverage but with more extensive coverage of the lateral chest wall.

The PECS II block which includes performing a PECS I block involves an additional injection deep to the PECS I plane within the fascia between the pectoralis minor and serratus muscles providing more extensive coverage of the chest wall and the axilla. PECs Block Thoracic paravertebral blocks TPVB are widely used regional anaesthetic techniques for breast surgeries. This means that the LPN which is adjacent to the TAA is targeted directly by the PECS 1 block.

Before the advent of ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia chest wall blocks were mainly confined to intercostal nerve blockade thoracic epidural analgesia and thoracic paravertebral blockade. In recent years a number of interfascial plane blocks have been described for breast surgery. Youll never establish a mind-muscle connection with your pecs if you dont have any in the first place.

In this issue of the Journal Barrington et al 1 describe a thoroughly crafted randomized trial comparing Pecs II block to surgical wound infiltration in patients who are undergoing a variety of breast surgery types. PECS blocks can be administered by the anesthesiologist or surgeon. These are technically challenging blocks even under ultrasound guidance and has rare but catastrophic risks like inadvertent entry into the vertebral canal pneumothorax and spinal cord trauma.

The Pecs 2 block provides axillary analgesic coverage. There is an additional injection between the pectoralis minor and serratus anterior which is another muscle of the chest. The serratus plane block provides even more extensive axillary coverage extending to the upper abdomen.

This study will be conducted at Lankenau Medical Center of Main Line Health. PECS block may have no effect on pain on movement at 24 h after surgery compared with PVB block mean difference -056 95 CI -153 to 041 low-quality evidence. The first step in your journey to pecs that prance under your shirt is to build some muscle.

Only few cases of Pecs blocks have been reported as the primary anesthesia for breast surgery and were always combined with general anesthesia. 10ml of the solution to be deposited between pec major and minor at the 3rd rib level. National Coverage Non-coverage for prolotherapy joint sclerotherapy and ligamentous injections with sclerosing agents is found in CMS Publication 100-03 Medicare National Coverage Determinations Manual.

Pecs block is considered a safe and efficient procedure. Block-related complications were generally poorly reported. Pectoralis blocks Open in new tab 2.

Direct injection during open surgery is also possible 2 Areas covered by a PECS I or PECS II block External anterior view of areas covered by PECS I and PECS II block PECS I block3 Devised to anesthetize the medial and lateral pectoral nerves which innervate the pectoralis muscles. The Pecs 1 and 2 blocks are often performed in combination for extensive breast surgeries involving axillary lymph node dissections. The Pecs I and II blocks were achieved with a total of 45 mL 02 ropivacaine.

The PECS II block as a major analgesic component for clavicle operations. This article contains coding and other guidelines that complement the Local Coverage Determination LCD for Peripheral Nerve Blocks. PECS I and II blocks are considered safe procedures with predicted low complication rates.

For the Pecs block to achieve wider coverage of the skin dermatome while avoiding the risk of local anesthetic toxicity we used ropivacaine in a greater volume and at a lower concentration than the original regimen 2. A description of 7 case reports Clavicle fractures correspond to 35 of traumatic fractures of the shoulder girdle. 1 the use of ultrasound in regional anaesthesia has facilitated the visualisation of anatomical structures needle advancement and the spread of local.

The PECS block procedure involves injecting local anesthesia between two chest muscles called pectoralis major and pectoralis minor. Ultrasound machine with linear transducer 818 MHz sterile sleeve and gel or other acoustic coupling agent. Pectoral nerve blocks have been proposed for analgesia during and after breast cancer surgery but data are conflicted in aesthetic breast surgery.

Technique with the probe at the mid clavicular level and angled inferolaterally first locate the axillary artery and vein. The PECS block will typically provide analgesic coverage of the breast and axilla. This trial tested the primary hypothesis that adding a preincisional pectoral nerve block is superior to systemic multimodal analgesic regimen alone for pain control after breast augmentation surgery.

For more videos visit ESRA ACADEM. Next move the probe laterally until pectoralis minor and serratus anterior are identified. Only 2 patients had pain scores of 5-10 mainly associated with the wound drain.

Outline the steps involved in performing an interscalene nerve block. Identify risks associated with interscalene nerve blocks. Skin prep for example chlorhexidine betadine alcohol.

Pecs block has no risk of sympathectomy or restrictions on the use of anticoagulants as compared to TPVB or neuraxial blocks Ramsay et al 1974. The lateral and medial pectoral nerves will travel between the pectoralis major and minor muscles. The original PECS 1 block description by Blanco1 and Blanco et al13with later modifications214consists of injec- tion of 10 mL local anesthetic at the level of the third intercostal space in the vicinity of the pectoral branch of the TAA.

The PECS block can be used effectively as part of our day case Breast surgery service thus improving patient satisfaction and reduction in hospital care costs. Regional anaesthesia has shown better analgesic results than systemic treatment for perioperative management. The observed results were less pronounced if patients received a sham block.

The equipment needed for a supraclavicular brachial plexus nerve block includes the following. Explain a structured interprofessional team approach to provide effective care to and appropriate surveillance of patients undergoing interscalene nerve blocks.
