Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Comparing the numerical rating scale scores

    Numerical rating scale will be used for pain assessment. The scores of the numerical rating scale changes between 0 to 10 points. 10 points mean "the most severe pain that the patient ever had". 0 point means "there is no pain." Higher scores mean worse outcome.

    Postoperative 24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Comparing total morphine consumption

    Postoperative 24 hours

Study Arms (2)

Parasternal Block and Recto-İntercostal Fascial Plane Block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Before surgery, patients will receive a combination of bilateral PSB and RIFPB with 0.25% bupivacaine (total volume 60 ml) for postoperative pain control.

Other: Parasternal Block and Recto-İntercostal Fascial Plane Block

Parasternal Block and Erector Spinae Plane Block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Before surgery, patients will be given 0.25% bupivacaine (total volume 60 ml) with a combination of bilateral PSB and ESPB for postoperative pain control.

Other: Parasternal Block and Erector Spinae Plane Block

Interventions

Parasternal Block and Recto-Intercostal Fascial Plane Block:Superficial PSB is performed bilaterally with the patient in the supine position using a high-frequency linear USG probe. The probe is inserted longitudinally 2cm lateral to the sternal border to visualize the T2T4 intercostal space and identify the pectoralis major muscle, intercostal muscle, and pleura. Using an in-plane approach with a 100mm needle, 10ml of 0.25% bupivacaine is administered between the pectoralis major and intercostal muscle. Additionally, a Recto-Intercostal Fascial Plane Block is performed bilaterally with a high-frequency linear USG probe. The probe is inserted 2-3cm lateral to the xiphoid to visualize the rectus abdominis muscle and the 6th-7th cartilages. The needle is advanced to the plane between the costal cartilage and the rectus abdominis muscle using the in-plane technique, and 1-2ml of saline is injected. After spreading to the target plane is observed, 20ml of 0.25% bupivacaine is administered.

Parasternal Block and Recto-İntercostal Fascial Plane Block

Superficial PSB is performed with the patient in the supine position using a high-frequency linear USG probe. The probe is placed longitudinally 2cm lateral to the sternal border to identify the T2T4 intercostal space, pectoralis major muscle, intercostal muscle, and pleura. Using an in-plane approach with a 100mm needle, 10ml of 0.25% bupivacaine is applied between the pectoralis major and intercostal muscle. Additionally, an erector spinae plane block is performed with a high-frequency USG probe. Erector spinae plane block is performed under general anesthesia, in the lateral position, under USG guidance, after sterilization, by inserting a needle between the deep surface of the erector spinae muscle and the transverse process with an in-plane approach in the craniocaudal direction. If no air or blood is seen in the aspiration, a 2mL serum test dose is applied to this area and a total of 20mL of 0.25% bupivacaine is injected bilaterally to perform an erector spinae plane block.
