“…[ 4 ] Even single-shot regional techniques seem to give excellent early analgesia. [ 5 ] Blocking the sensory supply to breast, axilla, and over the pectoral muscles provides adequate analgesia in the postoperative period. In our study the first injection of 20 ml below pectoralis minor so as to infiltrate the serratus anterior fascia and spread the injectate into the axilla at the level of third rib addressed the sensory supply of the breast, which is mainly derived from the branches of thoracic intercostal nerves T2–T5 and the axilla supplied by the long thoracic nerve and thoracodorsal nerve.…”

“…Although a small amount of LAs may reduce LAs-related complications, continuous catheterization may be required to prolong blockade duration with a low concentration of LAs in order to meet postoperative analgesia needs. 16 Compared with a single-shot block, continuous LAs infusion may increase the risk of catheterrelated infections 17,18 and delay the patient's early postoperative activity. Therefore, we expected to determine the appropriate LAs concentration for a single-shot block to…”
