Regional Anesthesia for Cardiothoracic Enhanced Recovery (RACER) for Patients Undergoing Sternotomy for Congenital Heart Repair
The erector spinae plane block is a novel regional anesthetic technique that allows for
analgesia of the thorax and abdomen with a peripheral nerve block. The goals of this study
are to determine if bilateral erector spinae plane blocks (ESPB) after sternotomy for
congenital heart repair in high risk children and adults can decrease outcomes such as
duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation (MV), perioperative opioid consumption, days
in the intensive care unit (ICU) and length of stay (LOS).
