Transversus Thoracis Muscle Plane Block for Sternotomy Pain in Cardiac Surgery

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2020
Sternotomy pain is usually significant after cardiac surgery. Analgesic options for sternotomy in cardiac surgery are often limited. Poorly controlled acute pain is an important factor to development of chronic postsurgical pain. The transversus thoracis muscle plane (TTP) block is a novel technique that provides analgesia to anterior chest wall. A double-blinded RCT is conducted to assess the efficacy of applying TTP block as an adjunct to analgesia in cardiac surgery.
