The purpouse of the study is to determine wether Ultrasound Guided,Ens-assisted paravertebral block with single shot is a safe and reliable anesthetic technique in breast surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

General anaesthesia is currently the conventional technique used for breast surgery. Thoracic Paravertebral block (PVB) has been used with multiple injection.
