Pectointercostal Fascial Plane Block (PIFB) Alone Versus PIFB With Rectus Sheath Block (RSB) in Cardiac Surgery

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if ultrasound-guided bilateral pectointercostal fascial plane blocks with bilateral rectus sheath blocks block decrease pain scores, decrease opioid consumption, improve respiratory function, and improve quality of recovery in patients recovering from elective cardiac surgery involving primary median sternotomy and mediastinal chest tubes in comparison to pectointercostal fascial plane blocks alone.
