Sponsor's own description
Many analgesic modalities have been investigated in pediatrics. The analgesic efficacy of bilateral ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block in pediatric patients undergoing open midline sternotomy will be examined. Methods: 60 patients aged 3- 12 years will be randomly assigned into two groups: Control group will receive general anesthesia with bilateral sham erector spinae plane block at the level of T6 transverse process using 0.3 ml/kg normal saline on each side. Erector spinae plane block group will receive bilateral ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block at the level of T6 transverse process using 0.3 ml/kg bupivacaine 0.25% (on each side) with a maximum dose of 2 mg/kg. The postoperative pain was assessed using Modified Objective Pain Scores (MOPS) which will be evaluated at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours after extubation, total consumption of intraoperative fentanyl (1µg/kg IV in case of inadequate analgesia), time to first rescue analgesic administration and postoperative paracetamol consumption will be recorded over the first 24 hours postoperatively.
