Zusammenfassung der Studie

Patients undergoing heart surgery via sternotomy experience moderate to severe pain after the operation, which may increase the dose of potent painkillers (morphine and derivatives) that have frequent side effects (nausea, vomiting, itching, respiratory failure). Furthermore, the management of high-dose administration occurs in an intensive care setting. This represents a barrier to rapid recovery and mobilization. In recent years, new techniques of locoregional anesthesia have been described for the treatment of post-operative pain. One of these techniques (transverse thoracic muscle plane block) is currently used at CHUV, but there are currently no data demonstrating its benefit in a larger patient cohort. We therefore wish to compare this technique to the so-called usual management.

Untersuchte Intervention

- Effectiveness of adding locoregional anesthesia - the transverse thoracic muscle plane block - in addition to general anesthesia for patients benefiting from elective cardiac surgery with sternotomy

(BASEC)

Untersuchte Krankheit(en)

- Adult patient requiring elective cardiac surgery with sternum incision (sternotomy) under general anesthesia

(BASEC)

Kriterien zur Teilnahme
- Direct informed consent as documented by signature - Major adult (≥ 18 years old) with body weight ≥ 50 kg. For the record, fifty kilograms is the minimal weight to ensure that participants remain safely away from maximal doses of LA (3 mg/kg) - Planned and primary cardiac surgery via a sternotomy approach - Planned for ultra-fast-track procedure (i.e. postoperative extubation time of maximum two hours) (BASEC)

Ausschlusskriterien
- Emergent cardiac surgery - Previous cardiac surgery - Known hypersensitivity or true allergy to bupivacaine and other amide-class LA (BASEC)
