Mixing anesthetics may cause more blood pressure swings during breast surgery
NCT ID NCT02004834
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 80 women having breast cancer surgery to see if using a mix of two numbing medicines (levobupivacaine and lidocaine) for a nerve block causes more changes in blood pressure and heart rate than using just one (levobupivacaine alone). The goal is to find which approach provides better pain control and more stable vital signs during and after surgery. Participants are healthy adults aged 18-80 with no major heart or blood pressure issues.
