Sponsor's own description
Background and Objectives: Opioid based analgesia is the main used technique in pediatric cardiac surgery which preclude fast-track recovery. Ultrasound guided regional fascial plane blocks are used recently in many pediatric surgical procedure with excellent outcomes and very low rate of complication. The investigators will compare ultrasound guided serratus anterior plane block and erector spinae plane block in pediatric cardiac surgical procedure through thoracotomy approach regarding effectiveness of postoperative analgesia, incidence of complications and effect in ultrafast track recovery. Methods: The investigators will enroll 64 pediatric patients aged from 6 months to 10 years undergoing cardiac surgical procedure through thoracotomy approach either with or without cardiopulmonary bypass in this prospective randomized study. After induction of general anesthesia, the patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups based regional fascial plane block given (SAP group will receive ultrasound guided single shot serratus anterior plane block and ESP group will receive ultrasound guided single shot erector spinae plane block). The effectiveness of postoperative analgesia using FLACC pain score will be recorded as the primary outcome while total consumption of analgesics, the time for rescue analgesia, incidence of complications, and incidence of need for re-intubation will be recorded as the secondary outcomes.
