Brief Summary

Introduction: Opioid-based pharmacological treatment is frequently used in the treatment of pain after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. If adequate postoperative analgesia is not provided in such surgeries, pulmonary and cardiovascular complications may develop. This study aimed to provide effective analgesia and reduce postoperative opioid consumption by applying preemptive erector spinae plane (ESP) block. Methods: A total of 50 patients who underwent CABG surgery were included in this prospective randomized controlled study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: the ESP group and the control group. The intervention to the ESP group was applied bilaterally at the T5 level before the surgery. The primary outcome was postoperative opioid consumption; the other outcomes included visual analog scale scores, intraoperative opioid consumption, and duration of hospital stay.

Study Arms (2)

Group ESP

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The probe was placed craniocaudally in the parasagittal plane approximately 3 cm lateral to the T5 spinous process. The T5 transverse process is detected and When the block needle touched the transverse process,Then, 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was administered to this area, and an ESP block was applied

Other: erector spinae plane block

Group Control

NO INTERVENTION

Group Control: Tramadol HCL was administered from vein with a patient-controlled analgesia device after extubation.

Interventions

Group ESP (Arm 1)The probe was placed craniocaudally in the parasagittal plane approximately 3 cm lateral to the T5 spinous process. The T5 transverse process is detected .When the block needle (Stimuplex B. Braun R, Melsungen, Germany) touched the transverse process, 0.5-1 mL of the 0.9% NaCl test dose was administered between the erector spinae muscle fascia and the vertebral transverse process, and the needle location was confirmed.Then, 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was administered to this area, Group Control (Arm 2) :No intervention
