Summary
Post operative pain after open heart surgery is still a main concern; current multimodal
analgesia modalities have shown good efficacy for postoperative pain at rest, without
reaching full pain relief.
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of peri-operative analgesia,
measured by consumption of opioids during the first 48h hours after the surgery, using
bilateral erector spinae catheters for 48h, compared to single shot erector spinae block in
pediatric patients undergoing open heart surgeries .
