Summary

Poststernotomy pain is a complication of cardiac surgery. Poorly controlled pain is associated with myocardial ischemia, cardiac arrhythmias, hypercoagulability, pulmonary complications, and increased rates of delirium and wound infection. The transverse thoracic muscle plane (TTMP) block is a novel plane block that provide pain for sternotomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided TTMP block in patients undergoing open heart surgery.
