Plain-language summary

The aim of this observational study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of continuous infusion via peripheral catheter versus single-shot serratus anterior plane block in women aged 18 to 80 undergoing breast-conserving surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does continuous serratus anterior plane block via peripheral catheter provide superior postoperative analgesic efficacy compared to single-shot serratus anterior plane block? Second question is: Does continuous infusion via catheter in peripheral nerve blocks reduce the amount of intravenous analgesics consumed and improve patient comfort?
