Randomized Controlled Trial
Bilateral erector spinae plane blocks in children undergoing cardiac surgery: A randomized, controlled study.
We aimed to test the hypothesis that erector spinae plane block (ESPB) provides efficient analgesia and reduces postoperative morphine consumption in children undergoing cardiac surgery with median sternotomy. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided bilateral ESPB with bupivacaine provides efficient postoperative analgesia and reduces postoperative morphine consumption at 24 h in children undergoing cardiac surgery.
