Summary

The researchers are working to improve recovery after heart surgery by reducing reliance on opioids. Newer regional anesthesia techniques can provide strong pain relief with fewer risks, but the choice of method depends on each patient's condition, medications, and surgical plan

Conditions

  • Analgesia
  • Perioperative Analgesia
  • Regional Block Technique

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Parasternal/ Rectus sheath block

the parasternal block will be performed parasternally at the level of fifth rib to the plane between the pectoralis major and the internal intercostal muscle. The rectus sheath block will be performed through injection in the plane posterior to the rectus abdominis muscle and anterior to the posterior rectus sheath

PROCEDURE

Erector spinae plane block

injection above the transverse process
