Summary
Perform a comparison of effective pain relief duration between liposomal bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine when added to bupivacaine in a block for mastectomy for cancer surgery. The erector spinae plane block is a well-established block that is utilized for post operative pain control for procedures performed on the soft tissue of the chest and chest wall as well as intrathoracic procedures. The goal is comparison of the effective duration of both study groups to determine if there is a significant difference in time and amount of post operative opioids required which admitted to hospital.
