Brief Summary:
In patients undergoing open cardiac surgery, pain control is an essential part of the enhanced recovery process. The current study aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacies of ultrasound-guided pecto-intercostal fascial block and ultrasound-guided transversus thoracic muscle plane block for open cardiac surgeries. Analgesic efficacy will be assessed on the numeric rating scale (NRS) along with intraoperative and 24 h postoperative opioid consumption.
Detailed Description:
It has been reported that the TTMP block and PIF block produce effective postoperative analgesia for open cardiac surgeries.
The hypothesis of our study; PIF block reduces pain and analgesic consumption in the acute period (0-24 hours) similar to TTP block in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery requiring median sternotomy.
Patients will be divided into two groups:
Group PIFB: A bilateral PIF block will be performed intraoperatively (20 ml, %0.25 bupivacaine + 1:400.000 adrenaline). In addition, IV morphine patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) will be applied postoperatively for 24 hours.
Group TTMPB: A bilateral TTMP block will be performed intraoperatively (20 ml, %0.25 bupivacaine + 1:400.000 adrenaline). In addition, IV morphine-PCA will be applied postoperatively for 24 hours.
