Recto-intercostal Fascial Plane Block and Pecto-intercostal Fascial Plane Block for Cardiac Surgery
In cardiac surgeries performed with median sternotomy, mediastinal and thoracic tube placement sites are outside the area of effect of parasternal blocks, and sometimes the sternotomy incision extends below the T6 dermatome. Recto intercostal fascial plane block (RIFPB) has been defined as a complementary block for analgesia of this region. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of ultrasound-guided recto-intercostal fascial plane block and pectointercostal fascial block for postoperative analgesia management after open heart surgery (coronary artery bypass) with median sternotomy.
