Feasibility of a Standardized Fascial Plane Block Protocol for Breast Cancer Surgery
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the feasibility of a standardized locoregional anesthesia protocol for patients undergoing breast cancer surgery under procedural sedation or adjunctive hypnosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can breast cancer surgery be successfully completed using this standardized anesthetic protocol without conversion to general anesthesia? * Is this standardized protocol feasible to implement in routine clinical practice, based on patient acceptance, protocol adherence, anesthesia induction time, patient and surgeon satisfaction, perioperative complications, and reasons for conversion to general anesthesia? Participants will: * receive the standardized locoregional anesthesia protocol, combined with either procedural sedation or adjunctive hypnosis, as part of their routine clinical care; * allow the research team to collect information from their medical records regarding the anesthesia and surgical procedure; * complete a short satisfaction questionnaire before hospital discharge
Inclusion criteria
• Age ≥ 18 years • Scheduled for elective unilateral breast cancer surgery (e.g. lumpectomy or mastectomy with or without sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary dissection)
Exclusion criteria
• Contraindications to locoregional anesthesia (coagulopathy (INR \> 1.5, thrombocytes \< 80 000/mm³), infection at puncture site, allergy to local anesthetics) • Inability to cooperate with the procedure (e.g. major language barrier, severe uncontrolled psychiatric disorder or severe cognitive impairment) • Pregnancy
