Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: (a) All patients 18-70 years of age who require CIED implantation or replacement. (b) Patients with prior MI occurring at least 40 days earlier and who have NYHA functional class II or III disease and require a CIED implantation. ( c) Patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy and NYHA functional class II or III disease and require a CIED implantation. (d) Patients with second or third degree block who require CIED implantation.

Exclusion criteria

Patients with deranged coagulation profile (Platelet count 1.5. Patients not giving consent for the block. Patients allergic to ropivacaine. Pregnant patients.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the requirement of ad on analgesia during the procedure and pain assessment with duration of analgesia after Pecs block for Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) implantation.Timepoint: pain assessment is done by Visual analog scale at 2, 4, 10, 16, 20, 24 hours after surgery. add on analgesic requirement will be evaluated during the CIED implantation procedure which will be approximately 2 hours duration.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare requirement of 1st dose of rescue analgesia time in the post-procedural period, total iv analgesic requirement, duration of Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) stay, patient satisfaction and any side effect or complication associated with procedures or drug used for analgesia.Timepoint: Up to 24 hours after the procedure or CCU stay whichever is more.
