Clinical Trial: Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESP) vs Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAP) for Loco-Regional Analgesia in Adult Patients Undergoing Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Via Mini-Thoracotomy: Impact on Morphine Consumption, Pain Control, and Quality of Recovery

U.S., Feb. 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07433114) titled 'Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESP) vs Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAP) for Loco-Regional Analgesia in Adult Patients Undergoing Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Via Mini-Thoracotomy: Impact on Morphine Consumption, Pain Control, and Quality of Recovery' on Feb. 13.

Brief Summary: Optimization of postoperative analgesia and reduction of opioid consumption are key components of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in cardiac surgery. Although intravenous opioids have traditionally been the mainstay of analgesic management due to their potent analgesic effect and hemodynamic stability, high-dose opioid use has been assoc...
