NCT04906239

Brief Summary

Failure to adequately prevent pain after heart surgery increases morbidity and results in a high incidence of persistent poststernotomy pain syndrome. Aim in this study is to investigate analgesic consumption and postoperative pain effect in patients who underwent cardiopulmonary bypass with Erector Spinae Block, a new block.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Morphine consumption by PCA (Patient Control Analgesia)

    Morphine consumption used in case of pain

    The change from baseline in the postoperative period 1, 4, 12 and 24 hours after extübation

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Pain (VAS Score)

    Change From Baseline of VAS Score at 1, 4, 12 and 24 hours after being extubated will be recorded.

Group ESP

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

While the patient is in a sitting position, A ultrasound probe covered with a sterile sheath will be placed approximately 2 cm to the right or left of the T 4-5 spinous process. After the T 4-5 transverse process and the erector spinae muscle above it are shown, a quincke-type needle will be inserted into the skin at an angle of approximately 30 degrees from cranial to caudal with the entrance made using the in-plane technique. When the transverse process is touched, the needle will be pulled out and a local anesthetic solution will be applied to the fascia beneath the erector spinae muscle. A 20 mL dose of 0.25% bupivacaine, which has been shown to spread both above and below the T 4-5 level, will be injected.The same procedure will be repeated on the contralateral side of the T5 spinous process and half of the remaining bupivacaine dose will be injected. The total volume of bupivacaine injected on both sides will be 20 mL.

Procedure: Erector Spinae Plane Block

Group Control

NO INTERVENTION

No block will be made to the control group. After extubation, 1mg / kg tramadol will be applied routinely to both groups, and PCA (Patient Control Analgesia) and morphine consumption and VAS (visual analog scale) pain scores of both groups will be evaluated and recorded at the 1st, 4th, 12th and 24th hour. When VAS is 3, patients will be advised to press the PCA device.

Interventions

A high-frequency ultrasound linear probe, covered with a sterile sheath, will be placed approximately 2 cm to the right or left of the T 4-5 spinous process. After showing the T 4-5 transverse process and the erector spinae muscle on top of it, a 22-gauge, 80 mm insulated quincke type needle will be inserted into the skin at an angle of approximately 30 degrees from cranial to caudal, using the in-plane technique. When the transverse process is touched, the needle will be pulled out and after a negative aspiration test with 0.5 mL of normal saline and after the demonstration of a hypo-echogenic image and hydro dissection, a local anesthetic solution will be applied to the fascia beneath the erector spinae muscle. A 20 mL dose of 0.25% bupivacaine, which has been shown to spread both above and below the T 4-5 level, will be injected.
