Condition: Postoperative Pain · Postoperative Analgesia · Sponsor: Kartal Kosuyolu High Speciality Training and Research Hospital
Postoperative pain after cardiac surgery is commonly moderate to severe due to sternotomy, thoracotomy, internal mammary artery harvesting, and chest tube placement, and may contribute to adverse systemic and pulmonary outcomes if inadequately managed. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols emphasize opioid-sparing strategies to reduce opioid-related side effects and complications. Ultrasound-guided fascial plane blocks have increasingly been incorporated into perioperative analgesia protocols for cardiac surgery. The serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block (SPSIPB), a recently described technique, provides wide dermatomal sensory coverage and may offer effective analgesia in thoracic and cardiac surgical procedures. This prospective, randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of SPSIPB in adult patients undergoing off-pump minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). A total of 60 ASA III patients aged 18 years or older will be randomized into two groups: SPSIPB group and control group. The SPSIPB will be performed preoperatively under ultrasound guidance using 0.25% bupivacaine, while the control group will receive standard general anesthesia without any plane block. All patients will receive standardized general anesthesia and postoperative patient-controlled analgesia with tramadol. The primary outcome of the study is postoperative recovery quality assessed using the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) questionnai…
