Sponsor: Ataturk University
Summary
This study evaluated the effects of parasternal block and wound site infiltration on postoperative pain in patients undergoing median sternotomy. Patients were allocated to receive parasternal block, wound site infiltration, or standard systemic analgesia. Salivary opiorphin levels and postoperative pain scores were assessed to compare analgesic effectiveness between the groups.
