Trial summary

Pain management is important after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Intravenous morphine is the gold standard for pain relief, but its sedation, cough suppression and decreased bowel movements limit its use. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Two Different Techniques for Postoperative Analgesia in Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgeries: Erector Spinae Plane Block or Parasternal Block Plus Chest Tube Wound Infiltration

Pain management is important after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Intravenous morphine is the gold standard for pain relief, but its sedation, cough suppression and decreased bowel movements limit its use. Analgesia with regional methods after surgery provides effective analgesia by reducing morphine consumption. In this study we have planned to compare the erector spina plane block with parasternal block +local infiltration to chest tube areas.

Read the detailed description

Patients who will undergo open heart surgery will be included in this study. Pain management is important after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Poorly controlled postoperative pain can trigger myocardial ischemia, increase catecholamine levels, result in increased complications such as stroke and bleeding, and increase the risk of pneumonia. Intravenous morphine is the gold standard for pain relief, but its sedation, cough suppression and decreased bowel movements limit its use. For this reason, regional methods are gaining importance in pain treatment. After cardiac surgery. Both sternotomy and bilateral chest tubes are the most painful interventions during cardiac surgeries. Parasternal block can be a good alternative in the treatment of pain in CABG surgeries. In parasternal application, the aim is to anesthetize the nerves innervating the sternum between the pectoral muscle and the intercostal muscle by holding the probe in the parasagittal plane on the lateral side of the sternum under USG guidance. Patients who will undergo open heart surgery will be included in this study. The patients will be divided into two groups, and in Group 1, before general anesthesia is given, bilateral ESPB will be performed at the 4-6th thoracic level in the prone position, and then routine general anesthesia will be performed (at this stage, the patients will be given sedation to prevent them from feeling pain). After endotracheal intubation, in Group 2, a parasternal block will be performed from the lateral sternum. At the end of the surgery, local anesthetic infiltration will be perform to the tube sites. General anesthesia and surgical procedures will be performed routinely in both groups. In the intensive care unit patients will be monitored for pain levels, intubation duration, whether there is atelectasis in the lungs, and the need for reintubation. Pain assessment will be evaluated with the behavioral pain score while the patients are intubated and with the visual pain scale after extubation. Whether atelectasis has developed will be evaluated with ultrasonography at the 12th and 24th hours postoperatively

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Comparison of erector spina plane block, parasternal block plus local infiltration to the tube sides for postoperative analgesiaProcedure or surgery

    Group 1: erector spina plane block: With USG guidance at the thoracal level of 4-5, with 20ml 2.5% bupivacaine ESPB will be performed. after surgery in the ICU pain score and atelectasia will be evaluated.

    Group 2: With USG guidance parasternal block will be performed after intubation bilaterally with 10 ml 0.25% bupivacaine each side. at the end of the surgery infiltration of chest tube sides will be performed with 10 ml 2.5% bupivacain.

What is being measured

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

  1. postoperative analgesia

    postoperatively in the intensive care unit during mechanical ventilation behavioral pain, score, after extubation visüel analog scala will be used to measure postoperative pain of the patients. during mechanical ventilation every 2 hours after extübation 2., 4., 6., 8., 12., 24. hours

    Measured: 24 hours after after surgery

  2. postoperative atelectasia

    postoperatively at the 12. th and 24.th hours with ultrasonography the patients lungs will be sreened for atelectasis

    Measured: 24 hours after after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. postoperative mechanical ventilation duration

    in the intensive care unit time to endotracheal extubation will be recorded

    Measured: 24 hours after after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Comparison of erector spina plane block, parasternal block plus local infiltration to the tube sides for postoperative analgesia in people with Postoperative Pain and Postoperative Atelectasis, run by TC Erciyes University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postoperative analgesia (time frame: 24 hours after after surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Feb 2024.
