In this prospective and controlled study, the investigators investigated the effect of transversus thoracic muscle plane block (TTMP) on analgesia in patients who undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with median sternotomy. For this purpose, the investigators aimed to compare the hemodynamic responses to surgical incision and sternotomy and, pain intensity, total analgesic consumption, additional analgesic requirements of the patients in the first 24 hours after extubation under postoperative patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) adminisration.
