Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Analgesia

• Registration Number: NCT05763810
• Lead Sponsor: Abd-Elazeem Abd-Elhameed Elbakry

Brief Summary

This study aims to compare the analgesic effects of erector spinae plane block versus Superficial Parasternal Intercostal Plane Block block along with rectus sheath block after off-pump cardiac surgery

Detailed Description

General anaesthesia will be used for all patients. induction by midazolam 0.05-0.1 mg/kg, fentanyl 2-5 µ/kg, propofol 1-2 mg/kg, and atracurium 0.5 mg/kg for intubation. Maintenance by sevoflurane in oxygen-air mixture. regional blocks will be used after the induction of anaesthesia. Intraoperative analgesia will be maintained by fentanyl infusion 1-2 µ/kg/h while morphine sulphate 2.5-5mg will be used as rescue analgesia when pain score\>4 beside acetaminophen 1000 mg /6 hours
