Transversus Thoracis Muscle Plane Block for Postoperative Pain in Adult Cardiac Surgery

Bilateral Transversus Thoracis Muscle Plane Block for Acute Postoperative Pain in Adult Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Observer Blinded Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional

• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Inadequate pain control after coronary artery bypass graft surgery increases mortality and results in a higher incidence of persistent poststernotomy pain syndrome. Our aim is to assess whether ultrasound-guided parasternal intercostal block (PSIB) or surgeon implied transversus thoracic muscle plane block (TTMPB) would improve the postoperative pain scores and decrease tramadol consumption better after coronary artery bypass graft surgery

Conditions

• Postoperative Pain
• Chest Pain
• Coronary Artery Bypass
• Sternotomy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Transversus Thoracic Muscle Plane Block	40 ml %0.375 bupivacaine divided into 4 equal doses will be injected by the surgeon between internal intercostal muscle and transversus thoracis muscle at the 2nd and 3rd intercostal space and 4th and 5th intercostal space
PROCEDURE	Parasternal Intercostal Plane Block	40 ml %0.375 bupivacaine injection will be performed by ultrasound guidance after completion of surgery between pectoralis major muscle and external intercostal muscle at the 2nd and 3rd intercostal space and 4th and 5th intercostal space bilaterally by anesthesiologist.
