Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the effect of transversus thoracis muscle plane block (TTP) on pain ratings, using repeated boluses of ropivacaine via catheter, on postoperative pain and oxycodone consumption after elective cardiac surgery with sternotomy. ;Secondary Objective: To investigate the effect of transversus thoracis muscle plane block (TTP) on reduction in oxycodone consumption, on sensations that are considered to be caused by systemic toxicity of ropivacaine, and on the length of ICU and hospital stay ;Primary end point(s): Pain scores (NRS) at rest and on movement ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24, 48, 72 hours

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): -Reduction in oxycodone consumption -Any sensation that is considered to be caused by systemic toxicity of ropivacaine -Length of ICU and hospital stay ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24, 48 and 72 hours postoperatively
