Sažetak
Postoperative wound infiltration with local anesthetic delivered in the proximity of brachial plexus may produce hand weakness. An aim of this study was to evaluate hand grip strength in the women undergoing breast cancer surgery with axillary lymph node dissection and postoperative wound infiltration analgesia. We compared two postoperative wound infiltration groups with levobupivacaine 0.5%: the patient controlled analgesia group (PCA) and bolus group. Our study confirmed that both analgesic regimens were effective and well tolerated. Hand grip strength was not clinically impaired in any group.
