About

Postoperative pain negatively effects respiratory functions in open heart surgeries. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on postoperative pain and respiratory functions in patients undergoing open heart surgery with sternotomy

Full description

Thoracic epidural catheter was inserted to patients in Group T at the T4-T5 vertebra level before induction of general anesthesia. And then local anesthetic infusion was started until postoperative 48. hours.

Bilateral erector spinae plan block was applied with total 40 ml of local anesthetic solution to patients in Group E at the T4-T5 vertebra level before induction of general anesthesia.

The control group was infused with 1 mcg/kg/min fentanyl during the surgery. In the postoperative period, 1 g paracetamol was infused 4 times a day.

All patients underwent general anesthesia with the same method and medications.

Tramadol/diclofenac was administered to patients with a pain score (NRS) above 4. NRS and tidal volumes (TV) of the patients were measured at 0, 2, 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48. hours after extubation. Postoperative mechanical ventilation durations, intensive care unit and hospital stays, additional analgesic needs and respiratory complications of the patients were recorded.
