Abstract

The objective of the study is to compare the recovery time and other related clinical outcome among patients who underwent modified radical mastectomy (MRM) with axillar lymph node dissection under continuous thoracic epidural anesthesia (CTEA) and general endotracheal tube anesthesia (GETA). A retrospective cross-sectional study was reviewed in 70 patients who underwent MRM in DLSUMC from July 2008 to June 2013. The results showed that the subject characteristics between two groups have no significant statistical difference in terms of age, weight and ASA physical status. The intra-operative hemodynamic results suggested that CTEA prevents intra-operative hypertension and tachycardia, but it may cause hypotension and bradycardia. The two groups have no statistically significant differences with respect to length of PACU and hospital stay.
