Pecto-intercostal Fascial Block (PIFB) for Postop Analgesia Following Sternotomy in Cardiac Surgery Patients
RandomizedParallel-groupQuadruple-blindTreatment
Summary
The purpose of this randomized, triple-blinded, prospective, feasibility study is to compare postoperative analgesia provided by Pecto-intercostal Fascial Block (PIFB) when performed with local anesthetic solution with or without perineural adjuvants in patients following cardiac surgery involving sternotomy. The study team hypothesizes that the patients receiving PIFB with bupivacaine with epinephrine, clonidine, and dexamethasone will have lower dynamic pain over the first 36 hours compared to those receiving PIFB with just bupivacaine and epinephrine.
