Maximal plasma concentration (Cmax) of bupivacaine after pecto-intercostal fascial plane block
Timeframe: The end of injection of bupivacaine will be considered as T0. Blood samples at T10, T20, T30, T45, T60, T90, T120, T180, and T240minutes will be collected to further analyze plasmatic bupivacaine values at these timepoints.
