Summary
Overall Aim: To evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of investigating bilateral
continuous erector spinae blocks (BESB) for postoperative pain management in a small cohort
of children undergoing surgical sternotomy prior to planning an appropriately powered,
randomized, controlled trial of the same.
Hypothesis: The investigators' primary hypothesis is that utilizing bilateral erector spinae
blocks for post-sternotomy pain is a feasible intervention for consideration in a larger
trial by demonstrating a 75% or greater successful intervention completion rate without any
major adverse outcomes.
