Analgesic efficacy of ultrasound guided bilateral transversus thoracis muscle plane block in pediatric cardiac surgery: a randomized, double-blind, controlled study.

Study Objective: Adequate perioperative pain control in children undergoing cardiac surgery is mandatory. Intravenous opioids and neuraxial anesthetic techniques have been used but didn't gained any popularity. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of transversus thoracis plane (TTP) block in pediatric cardiac surgery.
