NCT04258436 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 1

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a single-center, randomized, prospective study evaluating the effect of serratus anterior plane block performed after induction of anesthesia, but before the start of surgery on postoperative opioid requirements. The hypothesis of the study is that serratus anterior plane blocks are relatively simple to perform, provide good postoperative analgesia, facilitate early tracheal extubation, and reduce the length of hospital stay after pediatric cardiac surgery through a thoracotomy.

Conditions

  • Opioid Use
