A new trial sponsored by the Women's College Hospital in Ontario has discovered that breast cancer patients have a greater change of recovery, experiencing less pain and nausea upon receiving paravertebral blocks post-surgery. The main hypothesis that principal investigator Dr. Pamela Morgan aims to address is that "patients receiving ultrasound-guided paravertebral blocks (PVB) with propofol-based general anesthesia (GA) will have a better quality of recovery than patients receiving general anesthesia-opioid-analgesia."
