Regional Anesthesia for Cardiothoracic Enhanced Recovery

NCT03781440 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a novel regional analgesic technique that provides pain relief with a peripheral nerve block catheter. The goal of this study is to see if bilateral ESPB catheters can improve clinical outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery via sternotomy, such as decreasing the duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation, need for intravenous opioid medications, length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), and improving pain scores.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Bilateral ESP catheter with lidocaine

All participants will get the Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) catheters. Prior to transfer to the operating room, participants will receive bilateral ESP catheters at T7 level under ultrasound guidance. This arm is the treatment group and will receive lidocaine via alternating side automated infusion pump bolus dosing, continued until chest tube removal or postoperative day 5 (whichever occurs earliest).

PROCEDURE

Bilateral ESP catheter with saline

All participants will get the Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) catheters. This arm is the control group and will have normal saline administered via ESP catheters, continued until chest tube removal or postoperative day 5 (whichever occurs earliest).
