ESP Versus PIFB for Analgesia in Open Cardiac Surgery: a Randomized Control Trial
Sponsor: Taichung Veterans General Hospital
Summary
This clinical trial compares analgesia efficiency and recovery outcomes between two different fascial plane block techniques (ESPB vs.PIFB) in cardiac surgery patients participant population/health conditions\]. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does ESPB provide superior analgesia than PIFB * Do patients who receive ESPB have better recovery outcomes
Official title: Comparison of Erector Spiane Plan Block (ESPB) Versus Pecto-intercostal Fascial Block(PIFB) for Analgesia and Respiratory Function Recovery in Cardiac Surgery: a Randomized Control Trial

Interventions
Erector spinae plane block (ESPB)
Bilateral ESP: 0.5% ropivacaine 0.3 ml per kg (ideal body weight) each side, 30 min before skin excision. After surgery, use pump to deliver an intermittent automatic bolus of 0.3 ml per kg 0.16% ropivacaine every 4 hours each side.
Pecto-intercostal fascial plane blok (PIFB)
Bilateral PIFB: 0.5% ropivacaine 0.3 ml per kg (ideal body weight) each side, 30 min before skin excision. After surgery, use pump to deliver an intermittent automatic bolus of 0.3 ml per kg 0.16% ropivacaine every 4 hours each side.
