Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Chronic postoperative pain is an entity that is usually neglected by anesthetists, but several studies show that the choice of anesthetic technique may interfere with this prevalence. Esmolol is a selective beta-blocker of ultra fast duration that has been studied as a perioperative venous adjuvant with antihyperalgesic and opioid sparing action. The investigators ventured the possibility of this anti-hyperalgesic effect attenuating the chronic pain syndrome post-mastectomy.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Control

Patients who underwent mastectomy under standard general anesthesia Patients in placebo group received general balanced inhaled anesthesia with sevoflurane and remifentanil and a saline 0,9% infusion pump.

Drug: Control
Patients who underwent mastectomy under standard general anesthesia

Esmolol

Patients in esmolol group received general balanced inhaled anesthesia with sevoflurane and a bolus infection of esmolol 500 mgc/kg followed by a continuous infusion of esmolol 100 mcg/kg/min

Drug: Esmolol
Patients who underwent mastectomy under general anesthesia with esmolol infusion

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Incidence of post-mastectomy chronic pain syndrome [Through study completion, an average of 6 to 9 month]

    Incidence analysis using a questionnaire applied to patients in the late postoperative period.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Assess the intensity of pain: Pain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale [Through study completion, an average of 6 to 9 month]

    Pain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale, from zero to 10: 0 being represented by absence of pain and 10 being the worst possible pain

  2. Identify possible risk factors [Through study completion, an average of 6 to 9 month]

    Incidence analysis using a questionnaire applied to patients in the late postoperative period.

  3. Stratify the possible types of pain [Through study completion, an average of 6 to 9 month]

    Application of a questionnaire to identify the characteristics of pain (Neuropatic or non-neuropatic pain)
