Overview
Brief Summary
This is a randomized study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of post-surgical pain control of two types of peripheral nerve blocks, specifically erector spinal plane (ESP) block and pecto-intercostal fascial (PIF) plane block.
90 subjects, from 18-85 years of age, undergoing cardiac surgery with median sternal incision will be enrolled at Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital Center. Study participation will last from the time of pre-operative evaluation to 72 hours after surgery. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of the 3 different regimens at the beginning of surgery. Opioid consumption and pain scores after surgery will be evaluated. Though unlikely, risks include systemic absorption of local anesthetic, which can result in both central nervous system and cardiac toxicity.

Arms & Interventions
ESP group
Patient will receive ESP block with ultrasound guidance the transverse process of the vertebra at T7 is visualized and 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected between the transverse process and the erector spinae muscle on each side using a 21-gauge block needle.
Intervention: ESP block
ESP group
Patient will receive ESP block with ultrasound guidance the transverse process of the vertebra at T7 is visualized and 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected between the transverse process and the erector spinae muscle on each side using a 21-gauge block needle.
Intervention: Ultrasound
ESP group

Intervention: Bupivacain
PIF group
Patient will receive PIF block after intubation with ultrasound placed 1-2 cm lateral to the sternal border and the pectoralis major and external intercostal muscles are visualized at the level of ribs 3-4 where 10 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected on each side using a 21-gauge block needle.
Intervention: PIF block
PIF group
