To Study the Efficacy of Ultrasound Guided Pecto-Intercostal Fascial Plane Block in Patients Undergoing Midline Sternotomy in Open Cardiac Surgery: A Randomized Prospective Comparative Study
PIFB reduces sternotomy pain compared to the control group on deep breathing at 3 hours after block, with delayed requirement of rescue analgesia and improved respiratory mechanics in terms of peak expiratory flow rate at all time points. There is no benefit from adding clonidine.
