Study Summary

This is a randomized study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of post-surgical pain control of two types of peripheral nerve blocks, specifically erector spinal plane (ESP) block and pecto-intercostal fascial (PIF) plane block. 90 subjects, from 18-85 years of age, undergoing cardiac surgery with median sternal incision will be enrolled at Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital Center. Study participation will last from the time of pre-operative evaluation to 72 hours after surgery. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of the 3 different regimens at the beginning of surgery. Opioid consumption and pain scores after surgery will be evaluated. Though unlikely, risks include systemic absorption of local anesthetic, which can result in both central nervous system and cardiac toxicity.

Primary Outcome

The amount of opioid consumption (in mg IV morphine equivalents) during the first 24 hours post-op in patients undergoing cardiac surgeries with median sternotomy.
