Regional analgesia techniques for effective recovery from coronary artery bypass surgeries: a retrospective study involving the experience of a single center

Abstract

Regional anesthesia techniques severely limit opioid consumption during cardiac surgery. Their importance will gradually increase in terms of rapid recovery criteria. Based on our study results, double injection of the erector spinae plane block seems to be the most effective technique in cardiac surgery. We therefore favor the use of fascial plane blocks during such procedures. Trial Numbers The study is registered with ClinicalTrials (NCT05282303). Ethics committee registration and approval were Granted under Number 2021.464.IRB1.131.
