Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The goal of this study is to improve pain management after minimal invasive mitral valve surgery and to facilitate postoperative recovery. Our hypothesis is that patients having an Erector Spinae Block via intermittent boli ropivacain via catheter is associated with a reduction in postoperative morphine consumption.;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): cumulative 24-hour morphine consumption post-extubation;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 hours after extubation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Pain intensity as assessed with the numerical rating score for pain Requested dosage morphine IV PCA Extent of sensory block Incidence of adverse events during treatment Early safety endpoints as defined by VARC-2 Consumption of co-analgesic drugs;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: NRS pain: every 15 min following extubation until + 120 min; 6h - 12h - 18h- 24h after extubation Extent of sensory block at extubation, 2h-18h after extubation Morphine IV PCA consumption: 24 hours after start of PCA Incidence of adverse events: continuously until 24h after extubation
