Parasternal Block Combined With Rectus Sheath Block for Cardiac Surgery Under Sternotomy

Ultrasound Guided Parasternal Block Combined With Rectus Sheath Block for Cardiac Surgery Under Sternotomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 58 (actual)
• Sponsor: Campus Bio-Medico University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to examine the effect of ultrasound guided bilateral Parasternal Nerve Block combined with rectus sheath block on preoperative analgesia, opioid consumption and respiratory function in patients undergoing cardiac surgery via sternotomy. Half of participants will receive General Anesthesia combined with bilateral parasternal block and rectus sheath block while the other half receive General Anesthesia combined with bilateral parasternal block and infiltration of drainage exits sites with local anesthetic (without performing rectus sheath block)

Conditions

• Cardiac Disease
• Surgery
• Analgesia
• Acute Pain
• Postoperative Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	PARASTERNAL BLOCK	After induction of general anesthesia, an ultrasound-guided Parasternal Block will be performed with 20 mL of ropivacaine 0.5 % per side.
PROCEDURE	LOCAL INFILTRATION OF DRAINAGE EXIT SITES	At the end of surgery, a local infiltration of drainage exit sites will be performed with 10 mL of ropivacaine 0.25% per side
PROCEDURE	RECTUS SHEATH BLOCK	At the end of surgery, a rectus sheath block will be performed with 10 mL of ropivacaine 0.25% per side.
