Brief summary

Even though Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Block is shown to be efficient in cardiac surgery, the Combine Serratus Anterior Plane (CSAP) Block is still controversial if it has an efficient analgesic effect for sternotomy and drain tube pain relief. This study aims to compare ESP block and CSAP block for postoperative analgesia in coronary bypass surgery patients.

Detailed description

Acute postoperative pain after cardiac surgery originates various surgical procedures that may cause pain including the incision of tissues, sternotomy, the separation of bone-joint structures, the severity and duration of these applications, the use of chest tubes, and the patient's personal inflammatory may affect the response to these stimuli. Postoperative pain is a critical risk factor for the development of pulmonary and cardiovascular complications such as atelectasis, cardiac ischemia, and arrhythmias. Researchers claim that adding techniques to iv drugs, such as thoracic epidural anesthesia, paravertebral block, or erector spinae plane block (ESP) to multimodal analgesia regimens positively affect recovery. Although the efficacy of ESP block in providing postoperative analgesia has been demonstrated in many studies, there is no study comparing CSAP and ESP block in cardiac surgery.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Postoperative 4 hour measurement4 hour after ICU admission, an average of 5 minutespatients will be evaluated in terms of the visual analog pain scale, the scale has a range of 0 to 10. The scale will be shown to patients and 0 means the patient has no pain, 10 means the patient feels the most pain ever felt.
Postoperative 12 hour measurement12 hour after ICU admission, an average of 5 minutespatients will be evaluated in terms of the visual analog pain scale, the scale has a range of 0 to 10. The scale will be shown to patients and 0 means the patient has no pain, 10 means the patient feels the most pain ever felt.
Postoperative 24 hour measurement24 hour after ICU admission, an average of 5 minutespatients will be evaluated in terms of the visual analog pain scale, the scale has a range of 0 to 10. The scale will be shown to patients and 0 means the patient has no pain, 10 means the patient feels the most pain ever felt.
Postoperative 2 hour measurement2 hour after ICU admission, an average of 5 minutespatients will be evaluated in terms of the visual analog pain scale, the scale has a range of 0 to 10. The scale will be shown to patients and 0 means the patient has no pain, 10 means the patient feels the most pain ever felt.
Postoperative 6 hour measurement6 hour after ICU admission, an average of 5 minutespatients will be evaluated in terms of the visual analog pain scale, the scale has a range of 0 to 10. The scale will be shown to patients and 0 means the patient has no pain, 10 means the patient feels the most pain ever felt.
