This study aims to evaluate the effects of combined TTP and RSP blocks on postoperative pain and fast-track extubation in cardiac surgery patients. The results showed that combined TTP and RSP blocks can reduce intraoperative opioid consumption, accelerate extubation time, and improve hemodynamic parameters. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in postoperative opioid use and VAS pain scores.
Background Patients undergoing heart surgery with a midline sternotomy typically get intravenous opioids as their primary form of post-operative pain management. Due to its possible drawbacks, regional neuraxial anesthesia is still controversial. There have been reports on the impact of rectus sheath plane (RSP) block in conjunction with ultrasound-guided transverse thoracic muscle plane (TTP) block on postoperative pain following sternotomy. Aim Of The Study The efficiency of combining TTP and RSP blocks in lowering the targeted patients' perioperative requirement for opioids, minimizing opioid adverse effects, and attaining a potential Fast-Tract Extubation. Patients And Methods 50 patients undergoing open cardiac surgery via median sternotomy were randomly assigned to one of two groups in this randomized, prospective, comparative trial. Group (B) got combined ultrasound-guided TTP and RSP blocks, while Group (S) received saline in the same planes before to the incision. Results There was no significant difference between the groups for the demographic information, postoperative opioid consumption, or VAS pain scores, however there was a very significant difference between the groups for intraoperative opioid intake and time to extubation. Conclusion Combining TTP and RSP blocks has improved fast-track extubation, decreased hemodynamic changes in response to surgical stress, and decreased intraoperative opioid usage. The blocks directed by routine pain score evaluation did not, however, have a significant impact on postoperative opioid use.
