Effect of Bilateral Transversus Thoracis Muscle Plane Block in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery.

France100 participantsStarted 2018-01-01

Plain-language summary

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is the standard surgical treatment for coronary disease. However, there is no consensus on analgesic management in patients undergoing CABG. The aim of the study is to evualuate efficacy of bilateral transversus thoracis muscle plane (TTMP) block combined with systemic analgesia, compared to systemic analgesia only, in patients undergoing elective on-pump CABG surgery. Our main hypothesis is that a bilateral TTMP block performed after CABG surgery could reduce morphine consumption during the first 48 hours. The investigators conducted an age, gender and type of surgery-matched retrospective cohort study in the Montpellier University Hospital (France).
