Effects of continuous pecto-intercostal fascial block for management of post-sternotomy pain in patients undergoing cardiac surgery: a randomized controlled trial
Continuous PIFB can provide satisfactory postoperative analgesia while reducing perioperative opioid consumption, diminishing the risk of postoperative complications, and accelerating postoperative recovery for patients undergoing median sternotomy in cardiac surgery. The constant basal infusion method may be the optimal approach for administering continuous PIFB.
