Summary

This study addresses articles and studies related to the erector spinae plane (ESP) block and its technique, advantages and disadvantages, applicability, among others. It aims to provide more information about this block, which is relatively new, and how it can be explored in the anesthesiologist's routine, mainly inserted in the anesthesia scenario for cardiac surgery with a focus on postoperative analgesia.

Conditions

  • Erector Spinae Plane Block

Interventions

DRUG

Ropivacaine

Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block performed at the T4 level using 25 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine per side, followed by continuous postoperative patient-controlled regional analgesia (PCA) pump programmed with ropivacaine (maintenance rate of 4 mL/h, demand bolus of 6 mL).

DRUG

Standard Postoperative Analgesics

Systemic multimodal analgesic regimen based on institutional protocols, consisting of scheduled and rescue oral and intravenous (IV) analgesics (such as dipyrone, NSAIDs, or opioids) as part of usual postoperative care.

DRUG

Placebo (0.9% Sodium Chloride)

Inactive saline solution (25 mL of 0.9% NaCl per side) administered during a sham bilateral ESP block at the T4 level, followed by a continuous postoperative PCA pump infusion of 0.9% NaCl (maintenance rate of 4 mL/h, demand bolus of 6 mL) to serve as a comparator.
