Turkey (Türkiye)42 participantsStarted 2021-03-12

Plain-language summary

In patients undergoing open cardiac surgery, pain control is an essential part of the enhanced recovery process. The current study aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacies of ultrasound-guided pecto-intercostal fascial block and ultrasound-guided transversus thoracic muscle plane block for open cardiac surgeries. Analgesic efficacy will be assessed on the numeric rating scale (NRS) along with intraoperative and 24 h postoperative opioid consumption.
