About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESP) for postoperative pain management in cardiac surgery patients.

Read the detailed description

After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will be randomised (single blind) as block group(patients is performed esp block) and control group. All patients will be evaluate during 48 hours for postoperative pain.

Being tested
erector spinae plane block, iv analgesia

What participants receive

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. change from baseline in pain the 10 point Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at hours 3,6,9,12,24,36,48.

    The VAS is validated instrument assessing average pain. Possible scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) Change= (hours 3,6,9,12,24,48 score- baseline)

    Measured: baseline and hours 3-6-12-24-36-48

  2. time to mobilize the patient

    time to mobilize the patient is reported as when the patient is mobilized

    Measured: Any time for 7 days
