Arm Type

Active Comparator

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Pectointercostal Group (n=30)

Transversus thoracic Group (n=30)

Arm Description

They will receive ultrasound-guided pectointercostal fascial block after induction of anesthesia with equal dose before extubation in the intensive care.

They will receive ultrasound-guided ultrasound-guided transversus thoracic plane block after induction of anesthesia with equal dose before extubation in the intensive care.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

the analgesic effectiveness of the two blocks on midline sternotomy pain,
Postoperative pain evaluation after extubation will be done using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between 0 "no pain" and 10 "worst pain."

Secondary Outcome Measures

pulmonary complications
atelectasis and pneumonia
length of stay in ICU
days from admission till discharge from ICU

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The study will be designed to compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided pectointercostal fascial plane block versus tansversus thoracic plane block in adult cardiac surgery.
Detailed Description
A prospective study will be carried out in Alexandria Main University Hospitals on 60 adult patients planned for elective cardiac surgery, after approval of the Ethical Committee of Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria, and having an informed written consent taken from patients included in the study. Patients will be categorized into two equal groups; group P (n=30)) will receive ultrasound-guided pectointercostal fascial plane block and group T (n=30) will receive ultrasound-guided transversus thoracic plane block. All patients will receive the ultrasound-guided block after induction of anesthesia and an equal booster dose of the same block before extubation in the ICU. Patients in both groups will also receive an ultrasound-guided bilateral serratus anterior plane block before extubation.
