Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to compare patients outcome in two groups. the first group will be applied pecto-intercostal fascial block additional to general anesthesia and the second group will not.
This is a single-center, prospective, observational trial to study the efficacy of Pecto-intercostal Fascial Block (PIFB) in patients undergoing pediatric congenital cardiac surgery requiring median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass. The children are aged between 6 months to 12 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score 2 or 3.
The main question it aims to answer are:
The investigators' first question is if applying pecto-intercostal fascial block just after anesthesia induction reduces postoperative pain status. Secondly, if this pain status makes any reduction in preoperative opioid consumption. The investigators aim to find out; if there is any difference in opioid consumption during operation and postoperative 24-hour, postoperative Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale, length of intensive care unit and hospital stays, and other complications.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain Score
Time Frame: at the time of extubation, 1st hour after extubation, 2nd hour after extubation, 6th hour after extubation, 12th hour after extubation, 24th hour after extubation
Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale (FLACC scale), FLACC is a behavioral pain assessment scale used for nonverbal or preverbal patients who are unable to self-report their level of pain. Pain is assessed through observation of 5 categories including face, legs, activity, cry, and consolability. The values are between 0 and 10. The higher the score the worse the pain and outcome.
Secondary Outcomes
- Postoperative opioid consumption(From extubation to 24 hours after extubation.)
- Paracetamol consumption(From extubation to 24 hours after extubation.)
- peroperative opioid consumption(during operation)
- dexmedetomidine consumption(From the beginning of dexmedetomidine infusion to 24 hours after extubation)
