Abstract

Routinely breast cancer surgeries are being performed under general anesthesia. However, it is associated with surgical stress response and the need for drugs to culminate postoperative pain. General anaesthesia may cause undesirable side effects such as nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression, and sedation. The present clinical study included 100 adult female patients of ASA III & IV undergoing elective MRM surgeries in Government General Hospital, for 2 years from the date of approval of the ethical committee. The study was a prospective, randomized, double blind control study. Mean ± S.D age of overall patients was 48.57 ± 11.38, while in group A, and B was 44.10 ±12.23 and 53.03 ± 8.53, respectively. Majority of the patients belongs to the age group (36– 45) years. In our study hypotension, hypertension and bradycardia were significant in group A & B with p-value 0.0038, 0.0257and 0.0391 respectively.
