Ultrasound-Guided Parasternal/Rectus Sheath Block vs Erector Spinae Plane Block for Pain Control in Cardiac Surgery
Sponsor: National Cancer Institute, Egypt
Summary
The researchers are working to improve recovery after heart surgery by reducing reliance on opioids. Newer regional anesthesia techniques can provide strong pain relief with fewer risks, but the choice of method depends on each patient's condition, medications, and surgical plan
Official title: Comparison of Ultrasound Guided Bilateral Parasternal Block With Bilateral Rectus Sheath Block Versus Ultrasound Guided Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block in Controlling Intra and Post-operative Pain After Cardiac Surgeries

Conditions
Interventions
Parasternal/ Rectus sheath block
the parasternal block will be performed parasternally at the level of fifth rib to the plane between the pectoralis major and the internal intercostal muscle. The rectus sheath block will be performed through injection in the plane posterior to the rectus abdominis muscle and anterior to the posterior rectus sheath
Erector spinae plane block
injection above the transverse process
