The evolution of regional anesthesia techniques has markedly influenced the management of postoperative pain, particularly in thoracic surgery. As part of a multimodal analgesic approach, fascial plane blocks have gained prominence due to their efficacy in providing targeted analgesia with minimal systemic side effects. Among these, the superficial intercostal plane (SPIP) block and deep parasternal intercostal plane (DPIP) block are of notable interest.

In uncomplicated sternal fractures, one of the first priorities is to treat pain in order to avoid secondary complications due to hospital admission or reduced mobility. We wanted to study the safety and the efficacy of ultrasound-guided superficial parasternal intercostal plane (SPIP) block in pain control in these kinds of patients in the emergency department (ED). SPIP block has proven to be a safe and practical technique in pain control in the operatory room e.

Background: Transversus thoracis muscle plane block (TTPB) and parasternal intercostal nerve block (PICNB) inhibit the anterior branches of intercostal nerves and potentially provide adequate analgesia after cardiac surgery. This study aimed to compare these two blocks for a reduction in postoperative opioid consumption after cardiac surgery.
Methods: This randomized, single-blind trial included 60 adult cardiac surgical patients divided into three groups to receive ultrasound-guided TTPB (group T), PICNB (group P), or no block (group C) before surgery.

Background: While superficial parasternal intercostal plane blocks can improve analgesia after cardiac surgery, the optimal site and the number of injections remain uncertain. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of single versus double injections of superficial parasternal blocks, hypothesizing that double injections would achieve superior cutaneous sensory blockade.
Methods: 70 cardiac patients undergoing median sternotomy were randomly assigned to receive either single or double injections of superficial parasternal blocks bilaterally.
