Summary
This work aims to assess the analgesic efficacies of transversus thoracic muscle plane block (TTPB) and transversus thoracic muscle plane block (TTPB) for open cardiac surgeries
Detailed description
In patients undergoing open cardiac operation, pain management is crucial to the improved recovery. Postcardiac surgery pain is significant due to the sternotomy. The sternotomy is commonly cited as the most painful location following cardiac surgery, and postoperative pain is at its worst within the first 24 hours. The transversus thoracic muscle plane block (TTPB) and the pectointercostal fascial block (PIFB) are new ultrasound (US)-guided regional anesthesia techniques planned to provide analgesia to the anterior thoracic wall. Both blocks primarily target the anterior cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves (T2-T6), which are responsible for innervating the parasternal and medial anterior chest wall regions.
Conditions
- Transversus Thoracic Muscle Plane Block
- Pecto-intercostal Fascial Block
- Enhanced Recovery
- Cardiac Surgery
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | Pecto-intercostal fascial block | Patients will receive pecto-intercostal fascial block intraoperatively (20 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% + 1 ml dexamethasone 8 mg). |
| OTHER | Transversus thoracic muscle plane block | Patients will receive transversus thoracic muscle plane block was performed intraoperatively (20 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% + 1 ml dexamethasone 8 mg). |
| OTHER | Sham (No Treatment) | Patients will receive bilateral superficial needle puncture at a location like transversus thoracic muscle plane block without any solution injected. Only 25 saline will be injected superficially. |
