Clinical Trial Summary

Analgesia in cardiac surgery is historically based on large doses of intravenous opiods. However, this practice is rapidly changing due to "Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)" protocols with proven benefits on morbidity and mortality. Also, the opioid crisis caused by opioid abuse, has changed anaesthesia practice to reduce the use of opioids after surgery. Therefore, perioperative multimodal pain management with regional anaesthesia in minimal invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) has gained a lot of interest. Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) is one example of the fascial plane chest wall blocks and aims at achieving complete sensory loss of the anterolateral hemithorax via blockade of the lateral cutaneous branches of the thoracic intercostal nerves (T2-T12). SAPB has already proved its efficacy in thoracic surgery as it reduced pain scores and opioid consumption compared to systemic analgesia in the first 12-24h after surgery. However only few studies investigated the effects of SAPB in minimal invasive cardiac surgery. Therefore the primary aim of this study is to investigate the analgesic effects of a superficial SAPB in Minimal Invasive Cardiac Surgery compared to a control group with standard intravenous opioid analgesia.


Clinical Trial Description

2 x 40 patients scheduled for mitral valve surgery via port access, aortic valve replacement via right anterior thoracotomy and minimal invasice direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) surgery will be randomized in a control or SAPB group. Every patient will receive the standard anaesthetic treatment. At the end of the surgery, patients in the SAPB group will receive levobupivacaine 0.25 %, 2.5 mg/ml (dosage scheme: 1.25 mg/kg levobupivacaine 0.25%, with a maximum of 100 mg). Levobupivacaine will be given via ultrasound-guided infiltration, in plane, midaxillary, 4-5th rib, between the latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior muscle, at the end of the surgery. For both the SAPB group and the control group, the ICU nurse will repeatedly administer piritramide 2 mg intravenously, till numerical rating scale (NRS) are less than 4. Also paracetamol 1 g will be continoued 4 times daily. ;
