Summary

Adequate postoperative pain relief in patients in cardiac surgery is very essential. multimodal techniques for perioperative pain management post cardiac surgery include intravenous patient controlled analgesia, thoracic epidural and paravertebral blockade. Analgesia through thoracic epidural is the gold standard technique for post-sternotomy pain control but it has serious complications. ESP block is an easy technique compared to paravertebral block and less hazardous than thoracic epidural. Hence, this study will compare continuous bilateral erector spinae block guided by ultrasound with intravenous analgesia which is the standard method for pain management in cardiac surgery.

Conditions

  • Erector Spinea Block in Open Heart Surgery

Interventions

OTHER

continous erector spinea block

Ultrasound guided erector spinea block will be performed while the patient is in left lateral position ) the US probe will be placed in longitudinal parasagittal plane lateral to the T5 spinous process. An 18-gauge epidural needle will be inserted in-plane in a cranial-to-caudal direction until the tip is deep to erector spinae muscle. A 5 cm of epidural catheter will be threaded in cephalad direction. The same steps will be performed on the other side, after the negative aspiration for blood, bolus dose 15 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected in each of the catheters followed by a continuous infusion of 0.125% plain bupivacaine at the rate of 0.1 ml/kg/h.

DRUG

intravenous narcotics

intervention: injection of boluses of intra venous Narcotic drugs (fentanyl) in the dose of (1-2mcg/kg) during the surgery after induction of anesthesia then fentanyl infusion through the postoperative first 24 hours postoperative till extubation then intravenous pethidine till 48 hours after surgery.
