Evaluation of the Effect of Para-sternal Block on Postoperative Respiratory Function After Cardiac Sternotomy Surgery
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
parasternal block: Echo-guided loco-regional anesthesia by bilateral parasternal block in immediate preoperative. The drug used is Ropivacaine 2mg/ml, 0.2%. Injection of 20ml per side, under ultrasound control, after general anaesthesia and before skin incision, and therefore before surgery
Standard pain management: Standard pain management care involves a multimodal strategy that includes the use of intravenous analgesics. Morphine medications are the mainstay of pain management
Study summary
Postoperative pain after cardiac surgery is associated with reduced postoperative respiratory function. There is an association between greater pain and more pronounced decreases in lung volumes postoperatively. With an incidence of 10% to 25% of cases, pulmonary complications are the second source of postoperative morbidity after cardiac complications; in 2-5% of cases, the dysfunction is severe and leads to significant consequences that can lead to death. It has been shown that postoperative pain after cardiac surgery is associated with a reduction in functional respiratory capacity. There is an association between greater pain and more pronounced decreases in lung volumes postoperatively. The main objective of this study will be to evaluate the impact of locoregional anesthesia by parasternal block analgesic on postoperative respiratory function at D1 postoperatively
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change in postoperative forced vital capacity (FVC) — 1 day
The primary endpoint was the change (reduction) in postoperative forced vital capacity (FVC) between the preoperative measurement and at D1 postoperatively. * "Forced Vital Capacity measured by SPIROLAB spirometry (Appendix). * "Vital capacity is expressed as % of theoretical value.
