Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the use of a bilateral nerve block with a local anesthetic (ropivacaine), as part of a standard of care pain control regimen (called multimodal analgesia \[MMA\]), has a favorable effect on our institutional MMA pain regimen. Subjects will go through the following study procedures: review of medical history and medications subjects have taken within a month prior to surgery. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the two study groups (1:1) to receive either, an ultrasound-guided bilateral nerve block (called "Pecto-Intercostal Fascial Block \[PIFB\]") with ropivacaine or saline 0.9 solution, in addition to our institutional MMA regimen. A baseline line pain and nausea scores will be recorded before surgery. The block will be performed right after general anesthesia induction. The details about the surgery will be collected. Pain assessments, nausea and vomiting scores will be registered at 12, 24 and 48 hours after surgery as well. Lastly, a follow up phone call will be made by the research team to conduct a pain-detect questionnaire at 30, 60 and 90 days after surgery.
Detailed Description: Study design This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial in patients undergoing open-heart surgery at Richard M. Ross Hospital - The Ohio State University Medical Center. All study procedures will be done in accordance with institutional and ORRP-IRB guidelines.

Study participants Adult patients undergoing open-heart surgery at Richard M. Ross Hospital - The Ohio State University Medical Center with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status of I to IV who are scheduled to undergo open-heart surgery at Richard M. Ross Hospital - The Ohio State University Medical Center.

Sample size Eighty-four subjects who give written informed consent to participate in the study and who meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria will be included in a single treatment group.
