Serratus Anterior Plane Block Combined With Transversus Thoracic Muscle Plane Block Versus Conventional Local Anesthetic Infiltration for SICD Implantation: A Randomized Controlled Trial

• Status: Completed

• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

This is a prospective randomized study. The aim is to investigate the efficacy of a combined SAPB with TTPB for perioperative pain control compared to the standard local anesthetic infiltration technique in adult patients undergoing SICD implantation. The hypothesis is that the combined plane block provides better pain control compared to the standard local infiltration technique.

Conditions

• Serratus Anterior Plane Block
• Transversus Thoracis Plane Block
• Subcutaneous ICD

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Combined serratus anterior plane block and transversus thoracis plane block	The study group will receive a combined plane block by a dedicated anesthesia team prior to their procedure. 20 mL of local anesthetic (0.25% bupivacaine) will be injected for the Serratus anterior plane block and another 20 mL of local anesthetic (0.25% bupivacaine) will be injected in transversus thoracis plane block
PROCEDURE	Standard local infiltration technique	Local anesthetic infiltration of the incision sites will be performed by the cardiologist prior to, and as, necessary during the procedure. The amount of local anesthetic used will be determined intraoperatively by the cardiologist according to the patients' requirements.
