Summary

When a patient is to undergo heart surgery with a sternotomy, a transthoracic block is performed. The thoracic block is an analgesic technique which consists of injecting anesthetic product into the nerves, in order to avoid significant pain. The common technique is to make injections in the sternum by the surgeon. A new, increasingly widespread method is performed by the anesthetist who performs the block under ultrasound.

This research project aims to determine if performing this transthoracic block under ultrasound is more effective than injections performed by the surgeon without ultrasound.

Conditions

  • Regional Anesthesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Transversus Thoracic Muscle Plane Block

The transversus thoracic muscle plane block It is most commonly performed following cardiothoracic surgeries (or any surgeries requiring sternotomy) to provide analgesia to the anterior chest wall. he TTMPB, and thoracic fascial plane blocks, are increasingly being employed as part of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols for cardiothoracic procedures. They have been shown to significantly reduce both the time to extubation and the incidence of acute and chronic perioperative pain
