Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The incidence of chronic postsurgical pain

    The incidence of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) in the third month following cardiac surgery along with identifying the factors that influence it. CPSP as pain that (A) emerges after surgery, (B) is distinct from pre-procedural pain, (C) is not caused by other factors, and (D) persists for at least three months.

    Postoperative 3rd and 6th months

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Postoperative opioid consumption in the first 24 hours

    Postoperative day 1

  • Postoperative pain scores

    Postoperative day 1

  • The incidences of postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Postoperative day 1

  • The number of patients with side effects and complications

    The time from surgery to the time of discharge to the home; an average of 14 days

  • Time to extubation

    Postoperative Day 1

  • +6 more secondary outcomes

Study Population

The target population of 1176 cardiac surgery patients will be recruited from participating hospital sites. Patients eligible for our study will be undergoing a first-time cardiac surgery involving a median sternotomy, including CABG and all open-heart procedures, such as valvular repairs/replacement

You may qualify if:

  • patients will be undergoing a first-time cardiac surgery involving a median sternotomy, including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and all open-heart procedures, such as valvular repairs/replacement.
  • patients between the ages of 18-80 years
  • American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status score of II-III
  • patients will also sign the written informed consent form

You may not qualify if:

  • patients scheduled for minimally invasive cardiac surgery,
  • patients with BMI\>40,
  • patients who undergone thoracotomy,
  • patients with alcohol and drug addiction,
  • patients with severe dysfunction in a significant organ (e.g., presence of severe hepatic and renal disease),
  • patients who undergone emergency and redo surgeries,
  • patients who cannot be extubated within the first 8 hours postoperatively,
  • patients have a severe psychiatric diseases such as psychosis or dementia that restrict cooperation with the patient (patients who cannot evaluate verbal numerical pain scales),
  • patients who are pregnant and breastfeeding,
  • patients who cannot be reached by phone during the postoperative follow-up periods
  • patients who cannot communicate in the native language.
