the goal of the observational study to measure the effectiveness of neck ultrasound in prediction of difficult intubation in adult patients

This study aims to evaluate the impact of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block compared to ultrasound-guided external oblique intercostal plane block regarding management of postoperative acute pain in patients undergoing above Umbilical surgical procedure.

Breast cancer is considered the commonest malignancy affecting women with an incidence exceeding one million cases per year. Although it has a favorable prognosis with improved lines of treatment, some complications may still disturb the patient's life quality. One of these complications is post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) .Regional Anaesthesia (RA) is considered one of the most effective methods in reducing acute pain after breast surgeries, these include pectoral nerves block (PECS), serratus anterior plane block (SAPB), paravertebral plane block (PVPB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) . Our study is aiming for comparing the effect of preoperative PVPB versus preoperative ESPB in the prevention of PMPS in patients undergoing unilateral breast surgeries.
