Rhomboid intercostal plane block (RIB) has been described in the last decade. Various clinical applications have been found to provide hemithorax analgesia. The use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is increasing due to comorbidities in the elderly population. Increased myocardial stress with pain in these patients may increase the frequency of adverse cardiac events. Therefore, perioperative pain management ensures patient welfare, reduces complications, and maintains stable hemodynamic values. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the outcomes of RIB in terms of perioperative analgesia and patient and physician satisfaction in patients undergoing CIED.
