Randomized Controlled Trial
Bilateral transversus thoracis muscle plane block provides effective analgesia and enhances recovery after open cardiac surgery.
The mid-sternum is the main source of pain after open cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bilateral transversus thoracis muscle plane (TTMP) blocks on open cardiac surgery. ⋯ Bilateral TTMP blocks can provide good perioperative analgesia for patients undergoing open cardiac surgery and promote postoperative recovery.
